This is the firm's first wealth management office in Northern California.

First Foundation Advisors has branched into Northern Califonia by opening a new wealth management office in Oakland.

Stasia Washington, managing director, will serve as a regional director of wealth management services in Northern California. Washington is moving from First Foundation’s West Los Angeles office back to the Bay Area, where she spent several years as head of sales at Union Bank’s private bank.

First Foundation is headquartered in Irvine, CA, with offices in Newport Beach, Pasadena, West Los Angeles, San Diego, Palm Desert and the Imperial Valley in California, as well as in Las Vegas, NV, and Honolulu, HI.  

The firm serves clients through two subsidiaries, First Foundation Bank and First Foundation Advisors.
