Porte Brown Wealth Management Wins Top Awards for 2011

ELK GROVE VILLAGE, Ill., Jan. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Porte Brown Wealth Management, www.PorteBrown.com, a Chicagoland CPA firm providing accounting, audit, tax, technology and wealth management services, was recognized as a 3 Diamond Eagle at 1st Global's 20th annual National Conference at the Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City, Utah. In addition, Porte Brown Wealth Management's assistant, Nicky Mackowiak, was honored with the Wealth Management Assistant Service Award.

"Achieving the level of a 3 Diamond Eagle is an incredible accomplishment. Only firms that reach specific goals set forth at the beginning of the year are presented with Diamond Eagle awards. I am especially proud to see Porte Brown Wealth Management spread its wings," said 1st Global CEO Tony Batman. "This perches Porte Brown Wealth Management among 1st Global's top-producing firms."

"I am also proud of Nicky Mackowiak. The firm's success this year is due in large part to this person's exceptional dedication and skills. Nicky Mackowiak is truly a leader among peers. This is a goal that all wealth management assistants should aspire to," said Batman.

This year, 1st Global partner firms were inspired to discover their next act by world-class speakers. Michael E. Gerber, author of multiple E-Myth books, challenged everyone to start working ON their business not simply IN it. Diana Nyad spoke of her determination to swim from Cuba to America despite her two failed attempts earlier this year and Dr. Arthur Laffer provided insight into the political landscape in the coming year.

Of course, 1st Global's National Conference 2011: "The Next Act" wasn't focused solely on celebrating the past year. The name itself begs the question, "What's Next?" 1st Global is looking forward to watching everyone at Porte Brown Wealth Management continue to grow their practice and help their clients honor the important promises they've made.
