Founded in 1983 by Herb D. Vest, HD Vest Financial Services pioneered the concept of integrating tax services with comprehensive financial planning. The firm's core mission was to empower tax professionals, such as CPAs and Enrolled Agents, to offer financial advice and investment services, creating a holistic approach to a client's financial well-being. The company provided a wide range of services including investment management, retirement planning, and insurance. In 2015, HD Vest was acquired by Blucora, Inc. In September 2019, Blucora rebranded both HD Vest and its other recent acquisition, 1st Global, under a single new name: Avantax Wealth Management. The business continues to operate under the Avantax brand, maintaining its focus on tax-intelligent financial planning.
