Raymond James welcomes Missouri financial advisor managing over $144 million in assets
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Raymond James recently welcomed financial advisor Kirk Huismann, CPA, to Raymond James Financial Services (RJFS) – the firm’s independent advisor channel – according to David Sisemore, Midwest division director for RJFS.
Huismann arrives from Commonwealth Financial Network, where he managed over $144 million in client assets. As Friedline Financial, in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, he provides holistic financial planning and guidance to a variety of clients, specializing in families, individuals, business owners and retirees. He is joined by office manager and client service associate Cindy Kennedy and client service associates Cindy Smith and Michael Pugliese.
“What excites me most about joining Raymond James is the opportunity to grow in an environment that values teamwork, independence, and client-first service,” said Huismann. “With my experience as a CPA and a coach, I see clear parallels between guiding clients and coaching clients – both require preparation, trust and thorough planning. Raymond James provides the resources and culture that will allow me to deliver on that commitment.”
Huismann began his financial services career in 2012 at Mariner Wealth Advisors and started building his book of business in 2022 at Commonwealth Financial Network. His professional experience is backed by a bachelor’s degree in accounting and an MBA from Rockhurst University alongside the Certified Public Accountant designation.
