Cetera welcomes financial advisor Michele Johnson, CFP®, who joins with her practice, Elevated Wealth Solutions, overseeing approximately $80 million in AUA1. The Willoughby, Ohio-based practice comes to Cetera from LPL and aligns with Prosperity Advisors, an independent wealth management firm that is one of the largest businesses within the Cetera Advisors community.
Founded in 2023, Elevated Wealth Solutions serves individuals at every stage of life, focusing on retirement strategies, income replacement and wealth planning. Supporting the practice’s day-to-day operations is office manager Alison Marrie, who has been with the team for more than a year and is the first voice clients hear when they call.
Johnson is especially passionate about helping women feel more confident about their finances; her passion for helping women took root early in her career, with a defining moment that still guides her work today.
“I had a client, a widow, who sat in my office and said, ‘I don’t know what any of this means.’ That was my aha moment”, she said. “I’m here to help women understand their finances.”
After 8 years affiliated with LPL, Johnson began exploring other broker-dealers in search of stronger support and better resources. Committed to helping people feel peace of mind about their future, Johnson said she is looking forward to having access to more robust tools, including tax and 401(k) planning, to deliver on that commitment. She said that together, Prosperity Advisors and Cetera offer the kind of environment she wanted, one that echoes where she got her start.
