Whitaker-Myers Wealth Managers is proud to announce that John-Mark Young, CFP®, President and Co-Chief Investment Officer, has been named to AdvisorHub’s 2026 Advisors to Watch ranking, earning recognition in the publication’s 400 Advisors to Watch – Under $1 Billion category. This marks his fourth consecutive year of recognition, having been named to the list every year since 2023.
AdvisorHub’s Advisors to Watch is a national ranking of 1,000 advisors and teams selected for the scale of their practices, their year-over-year growth, and their commitment to professionalism. The 2026 edition was published June 16, 2026, and appears in the June issue of AdvisorHub Magazine.
Recognized for a Sophisticated, Growing Practice
The Under $1 Billion category highlights advisors and teams that, in AdvisorHub’s words, “have achieved scale without compromising their level of service while maintaining healthy growth.” To build the ranking, AdvisorHub evaluates nominees across three areas:
Scope of practice — assets, production, and level of client service
Growth — year-over-year increases in assets, households, and production
Professionalism — regulatory record, certifications, years of service, and community involvement
“Recognition like this reflects what we focus on every single day — comprehensive financial planning, deep tax-planning expertise, and a commitment to growing our practice while taking exceptional care of the clients we already serve,” said John-Mark Young, CFP®, President and Co-Chief Investment Officer at Whitaker-Myers Wealth Managers. “Those same priorities are behind the other honors we’ve been grateful to receive, including the Forbes Best-In-State Wealth Advisors award. Strong planning, smart tax strategy, healthy growth, and lasting client relationships go hand in hand — and we’re thankful for the trust our clients place in us.”
Four Years Running
Being recognized once is an achievement; being named four years in a row — in 2023, 2024, 2025, and again in 2026 — reflects a practice built for consistency. That track record is rooted in a planning-first philosophy, a growing bench of tax and financial-planning expertise, and a client-first approach that prioritizes long-term relationships over short-term wins.
A Reflection of Where Advice is Headed
This year’s AdvisorHub honorees described practices that are moving beyond the single-advisor model toward broader, team-based platforms — bringing together planning, investment management, tax awareness, and next-generation talent to serve the full scope of clients’ financial lives. That mirrors how Whitaker-Myers Wealth Managers is built: a team of financial advisors, financial coaches, and CPAs working together to deliver comprehensive, coordinated advice under one roof.
