SAN DIEGO, July 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — LPL Financial LLC<\/a>\u00a0announced today that the advisors of Williams Tax & Financial Services<\/a> have joined LPL Financial\u2019s broker-dealer and Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) platform. They reported serving approximately $340 million in advisory, brokerage and retirement plan assets* and join LPL from Cetera.<\/p>\n

Based in Los Alamitos, Calif., Williams Tax & Financial Services is led by Steve Williams, CFP\u00ae, Enrolled Agent (EA). Williams is a second-generation financial advisor with nearly four decades of experience helping clients navigate complex financial decisions. He is joined by team members Jobel Rentino, EA, and Kirk Hunter.<\/p>\n

A defining aspect of Williams Tax & Financial Services is its fully integrated model. The firm offers a streamlined, one-stop experience designed to help simplify clients\u2019 financial lives. The practice remains family-oriented, with deep roots in the community and a legacy that began with Williams\u2019 father, who originally founded a tax business.<\/p>\n

Williams takes a holistic approach to advice, combining multiple disciplines to deliver a more complete financial picture. His process emphasizes simplicity and clarity, helping clients understand their projected income in retirement through streamlined, personalized planning. He also prioritizes building strong relationships, often taking time to understand clients\u2019 personal circumstances before discussing financial strategies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThroughout my career, I\u2019ve believed that financial advice should be both personal and practical,\u201d Williams said. \u201cWe aim to give clients a clearer understanding of where they stand today and what they can expect in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n <h3> Why Williams Tax & Financial Services Chose LPL<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

Williams selected LPL for its scale, independence and enhanced technology capabilities<\/a>, which he believes will improve the client experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted a platform that allows me to remain independent and make decisions in my clients\u2019 best interests, without being tied to specific products,\u201d Williams said. \u201cLPL\u2019s technology and client-facing tools provide a more robust and transparent experience, helping clients better understand and manage their financial lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n Marc Cohen<\/a>, chief growth officer at LPL Financial, said, \u201cWe are pleased to welcome Steve to LPL. His commitment to delivering personalized financial guidance, combined with his client-focused approach, aligns with LPL\u2019s purpose to support advisors with the flexibility and capabilities they need to provide personalized advice. We look forward to supporting Steve and his team as they continue to grow and serve their clients.\u201d<\/p>\n

Outside of the office, Williams enjoys staying active and engaged in his community. He is an avid surfer and soccer player, frequently coaches youth sports and is actively involved in his church. He lives in San Clemente, Calif., with his wife and four children.<\/p>\n
