We shape futures.

Your wealth wasn’t a handout — it’s the result of your hard work. Now, it’s time to secure your financial future. We can help.

At KFA, we’ve got your back.

KFA started back in 2015 when John Fennig stepped away from his position at Ameriprise Financial. He knew that people needed independent, sound financial and investment advice. Since then, we’ve been growing steadily as an SEC-Registered Independent Advisory Firm.

Officially, we’re financial advisors, but to our clients, we’re the ones who help shape their futures.
