Double Wins! Celebrating Success at the 10th Annual Best of Forsyth Awards

David Fountain, CFP® professional • March 27, 2024

We are thrilled to announce that we have again been recognized at the 10th annual Best of Forsyth Awards. Both our company and our founder, David Fountain, have secured wins in two separate categories.

About The “Best of Forsyth” Competition

The “Best of Forsyth” Awards is an esteemed yearly event recognizing outstanding businesses, organizations, and individuals in Forsyth County. This unique celebration is hosted by the Forsyth County News, a beloved local newspaper that has served the community since 1908. After a thorough process of public nominations and voting from September to October, the winners are thoughtfully chosen, representing the highest level of excellence in the county.

This year, Financial Consultants Group was voted the “Best Financial Planning Firm” in Forsyth County for the eighth time since 2016, while David Fountain won “Best Investment or Wealth Management Individual”—his seventh win since receiving the award for the first time in 2017.

Celebrating Our Eighth Win

Once again, winning Best Financial Planning Firm in Forsyth County means a great deal to us as a company. It reaffirms our dedication to our mission and validates the hard work and effort we put into serving our clients. We’d like to think this award represents the assurance that when you choose Financial Consultants Group, you’re choosing a firm recognized for its excellence in financial planning. It means that you’re entrusting your financial future to a company that is recognized by the community for acting in your best interest and helping you achieve your financial goals.

David Fountain Secures His Seventh Win

David’s win for the “Best Investment or Wealth Management Individual” award is a testament to his deep commitment to his clients and profession. With decades of experience in the financial industry, David has consistently shown his ability to provide value, build personal relationships, and offer unbiased guidance to his clients.

As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, David adheres to the fiduciary standard, always acting in the best interest of his clients. This means that every piece of advice and strategy he recommends is tailored to the client’s unique financial situation and goals. He doesn’t receive any commissions or incentives from third parties, ensuring his guidance is unbiased and client-focused.

But what truly sets David apart is his dedication to building personal relationships. He believes in working closely with his clients, understanding their needs, aspirations, and concerns. This client-centric approach, combined with his extensive knowledge and experience, makes him a reliable fiduciary financial planner.

When asked about the double win, David graciously expressed, "Receiving this award from the Best of Forsyth is truly an honor, and I am incredibly grateful. I’d like to extend my heartfelt thanks to our clients, partners, and team members for their unwavering trust and support. It is because of you that I am motivated to continue doing what I love. To our valued clients in the Forsyth community, I promise that my team and I will never cease in our commitment to provide unbiased financial planning and investment management services to help you reach your financial goals."
