Joining from Raymond James Financial Services, Foreman Financial was founded by Kevin Foreman and brings nearly $400 million in managed assets. Their team of highly experienced client service professionals primarily serves business owners, corporate executives and retirees in the Midland, Texas area.

“When I built Foreman Financial, my goal was simple: to serve my clients with innovative, personalized financial strategies,” said Foreman. “As our clients’ needs and goals evolve, partnering with Concurrent will help us deliver on our vision to offer sophisticated, institutional-caliber services with the dedication and autonomy of a business of our own.”
