With each office we open and the professional team members we bring aboard, we meticulously assess the cultural alignment as a fundamental component of success, ensuring seamless integration into our entrepreneurial ethos and unwavering commitment to a client-first approach, facilitated by our proprietary allWEALTH® process to serve clients.
Below are Beacon Pointe’s various year-over-year AdvisorHub recognitions:
2025 – We are thrilled to share that Greg Taylor, CFP®, Senior Wealth Advisor in Beacon Pointe’s Campbell, CA office, has been named one of AdvisorHub’s 2025 ‘250 Advisors to Watch – RIAs’. Even more impressively, Greg is featured on the cover of this year’s issue! A standout honor that speaks to his industry impact and deep client commitment. AdvisorHub created a list of 1,000 advisors with sophisticated practices, great growth, and a commitment to professionalism. These 250 advisors have assembled efficient and productive teams that have achieved scale without compromising their level of service while maintaining healthy growth.
To be eligible, advisors had to meet key benchmarks: a minimum of seven years in practice, at least $150 million in assets under management, and a clean regulatory record. From there, finalists were assessed on the scale and structure of their businesses, year-over-year growth, and professional conduct—all areas where Greg continues to lead by example.
AdvisorHub’s editorial highlighted a growing trend among top-ranked advisors: a strong emphasis on team-based service, thoughtful use of technology, and a return to values-driven decision-making. Greg’s work embodies all of these, but it’s his consistent care for his clients that truly sets him apart.
Greg’s leadership and dedication are deeply felt within our Campbell office and across the national Beacon Pointe community. We are proud to celebrate this well-earned recognition and look forward to all that’s ahead.

In the 2024 released rankings, AdvisorHub received nominations from 339 firms, with nominees required to have a minimum of seven years of experience, a $150m AUM minimum, and a clean regulatory record. Additionally, advisors were ranked on the 1) size and makeup of their practice; 2) year-over-year growth; 3) and professionalism. The trends driving advisors’ success this year were noted by AdvisorHub as teamwork, systemization, and AI usage, advisor plus models, and values (not ESG) – however, the publication also highlights that it is hard work and diligence that create the habits that drive the results and create the success.
Karen’s alignment with our Beacon Pointe mission to provide comprehensive, client-focused wisdom marks her as a vital asset to our team and this recognition is a testament to her outstanding efforts to strengthen individuals and her clients with the knowledge to achieve financial autonomy.

2022 – The AdvisorHub ‘Firms to Watch’ rankings are in, and we are humbled to share that Beacon Pointe Advisors was featured as one of the top four RIA firms to watch in 2022. The final selection was due in part to Beacon Pointe’s tremendous acquisition growth in 2021, completing 14 RIAs acquisitions, and simultaneously holding a strong commitment to our company culture and values.
Embracing a strong client-first committed approach, and the value-added services we offer such as our Women’s Advisory Institute. Shannon Eusey, Beacon Pointe Chief Executive Officer, shares with AdvisorHub, “We felt it was our calling and our obligation to educate, engage, and empower women.”
In addition to Beacon Pointe’s firmwide recognition as a ‘Firm to Watch,’ Beacon Pointe Scottsdale wealth advisor, Eric Newby, CFP®, was included as a Top 50 Solo Advisor by AdvisorHub.
