Associated Financial Consultants & Investor Services, the independent financial services and employee benefits firm based in Fort Lauderdale, is proud to announce its fourth consecutive win of the prestigious Best of Florida® title in 2025, as part of Guide to Florida’s annual readers’ poll. This remarkable achievement adds to back-to-back victories in 2022, 2023, and 2024.
Guide to Florida readers and editors once again recognized Associated among the best of everything in Florida, honoring standout businesses across more than 25 industries and community sectors. This recognition underscores the trust of our clients, the support of our community, and our continued dedication to excellence in financial services.
The selection process begins with nominations on the Guide to Florida website, with voting open year-round. Tens of thousands of votes are cast annually, culminating in the publication of the Best of Florida Keepsake Annual and a statewide publicity campaign.
Winners are determined by a combination of reader votes and editorial insight, supported by rigorous vetting through ranking sites, Better Business Bureau reports, and voting pattern analysis.
