At EmVision, we’ve always believed great financial advice isn’t about recognition—it’s about impact.
That’s why we’re proud to share that our CEO and Founder, Michael Embrescia, has been named to the 2026 Forbes | SHOOK Best-In-State Wealth Advisors ranking, coming in at #42 in Ohio (Cleveland area).
This ranking isn’t pay-to-play. It’s based on independent research, interviews, and a rigorous evaluation process focused on how advisors serve their clients.
At its core, Forbes asks a simple question: “Would we recommend this advisor to a friend or family member?”
The methodology looks beyond numbers, considering:
Notably, portfolio performance isn’t a factor, recognizing that every client’s goals are different.

What stood out most to us in Forbes’ research was this idea: The best advisors are focused on making a difference in their clients’ lives.
That’s exactly what Michael set out to build.
From the beginning, the goal wasn’t to create just another firm—but one where advice is personal, relationships are long-term, and clients feel truly understood.
While this recognition is tied to Michael, it reflects something broader—the trust of our clients, the strength of our team, and the culture we’ve built together.
We’re grateful for the relationships that made this possible.
And while we appreciate the recognition, our focus remains the same: continuing to serve as your personal CFO—helping you make thoughtful, confident financial decisions. If you have questions about this recognition, please don't hesitate to reach out.
