In this episode of Growth Leaders of Wealth Management, Meg sits down with Grant Rawdin, Founder and CEO of Wescott Financial Advisory Group, Carrie Delgott, President and COO, and Alex Rawdin, Director of Client Development and Growth Strategy, to explore how a firm founded inside a law practice nearly 40 years ago continues to evolve while staying true to the principles that shaped it from the beginning.
Built on long-term relationships, specialized expertise, operational discipline, and a deep understanding of human behavior, Wescott has focused on strengthening the underlying systems that make growth possible. That approach has shaped everything from the firm's expansion beyond its legal roots to the development of a growth infrastructure centered on people, process, technology, and data.
Along the way, the story touches on acquisition integration, next-generation talent development, behavioral psychology, client engagement, and the cultural practices that have helped Wescott maintain its identity through decades of growth and change. Nearly 40 years after its founding, the firm continues to balance consistency with curiosity, proving that durable growth often comes from investments that compound quietly over time.
For leaders seeking to build something that can endure across generations, this episode offers valuable insight into the structures, habits, and decisions that stand the test of time.
