Carson Group continues to expand its network of firms under its umbrella.

Nebraska-based Oakeson Steiner Wealth & Retirement is joining the Carson Group, tapping into the latter’s network of 150 advisory firms.

Led by president and wealth advisor, Josh Yost, Oakeson Steiner manages $1.2 billion in client assets and has a team of 13 wealth advisors and client services staff. It was founded in 1994 by Doug Oakeson and Jack Steiner.

Oakeson Steiner sought a partner that could offer a robust technology platform, marketing and compliance support. Carson offers back-office support in marketing, operations, technology, and other services as part of its business model.

Maintaining sole ownership, Yost and his team will continue to lead the day-to-day operations of the firm.
