An old friend of mine (well, HE’S not old, but I’ve known him for over 20 years!) Kive Strickoff was recently recognized for his achievements in wealth management. Tony Batman (another “old” friend of mine) presented Kive the One Star Eagle Award at 1st Global’s Fourteenth Annual National Conference in Orlando. Top professionals were recognized for their accomplishments over the past year during an awards banquet held at the conclusion of the conference. The celebration dinner honored firms and individuals for a wide range of accomplishments. Eagle awards were presented to top financial advisors and firms that have achieved specific goals set forth at the beginning of the year.
“Kive’s commitment to serve his clients is what sets him apart. Kive is constantly seeking new 
opportunities to help his clients with financial solutions that will enable them to live their dreams,” said 1st Global CEO Tony Batman. “We are honored to be able to recognize Kive’s outstanding achievements and we wish him continued success in the future.”
You may remember that Kive was featured in The CPA Technology Advisor’s “Productivity in Practice” series last spring. You can read that piece here. Kive is a class guy. In my visit to his office I was deeply impressed by a framed poster stating his firm’s philosophy – “Any financial gain made at the expense of our integrity is a loss.”
He deserves this and probably many other awards.
