Our story

Our story

Strong oak tree growing amongst the farm fields

Focus Financial Group began with the husband-and-wife team of Shad and Heidi Connor and their strong desire to provide others with financial guidance throughout life’s journey. That same focus on lending others a helping hand while they progress toward their goals remains our priority today.  


At Focus Financial Group, we are more than just coworkers. We support each other the same way we strive to support our clients—like family. A few years ago, Heidi and Shad suffered a terrible house fire, and the team at Focus Financial Group immediately came together to make sure they were taken care of. 


Because we think of our clients as family, our work together is a collaborative and lasting journey. We understand the importance of forming genuine, long-term relationships, and we are committed to providing you with objective financial guidance to help you on your unique path.  


Our experienced financial professionals, intuitive tools and holistic process help manage your lifestyle, investment and protection needs. And our research, knowledge and expertise provide insight into the nuances of your goals—and how all the pieces fit together. As life happens and your circumstances change, we’ll help you stay on track.
