Mark Clary of McBee Avenue Wealth Advisors was named a 2023 Best-In-State Wealth Advisor by Forbes

The Greenville Northwestern Mutual office announced Mark Clary, CFP®, of McBee Avenue Wealth Advisors, has been named a 2023 Best-In-State Wealth Advisor by Forbes. The prestigious list – comprised of high-performing financial services professionals – is based on a variety of factors including revenue produced, assets under management, compliance records and industry experience.

Clary, a graduate of Furman University, started his career in the Greenville Northwestern Mutual office in 1994. In 2018, along with founding partner Thomas Willcox, he formed McBee Avenue Wealth Advisors, a Northwestern Mutual affiliated firm. Dave Ellison and Jay Hatten joined as partners soon after.

“At McBee Avenue Wealth Advisors, our greatest desire is for our clients to be financially free to pursue their passions, support their family and community and leave an impactful legacy for generations to come,” said Clary. “I want to be quick to share this recognition with my entire team. Without them, we couldn’t deliver on our promises to help our clients experience freedom, confidence and peace of mind. I’m so thankful for them and for the amazing clients we get to work with.”

Best-In-State Wealth Advisor* honorees are nominated by their firms, and each advisor is thoroughly vetted, interviewed, and assigned a ranking by SHOOK Research. Forbes receives more than 30,000 applicants for this annual ranking, and only a small percentage are named among the best wealth advisors in their state.

“I am so proud of Mark for receiving this award for two consecutive years,” said John Tripoli, managing director of Northwestern Mutual Greenville/Spartanburg. “It’s wonderful to see him and his team recognized for consistently delivering the best for their clients.”
