Founding Partner
In 2001, Steve sold INS and became a Partner at LWBJ Financial, Iowa’s second largest, privately-owned independent CPA firm. His responsibilities included daily operations and sales and marketing of their Third-Party Administration division for qualified plans across the country. The firm’s primary focus was providing compliance, administration, and consulting services for plan sponsors and their retirement plans.
In June of 2008, Steve spun off the retirement plan division from LWBJ and renamed it The Finway Group. Since then, Steve has continued to grow and expand the service and product offerings of the firm. The Finway Group continues to lead the industry in innovations and awareness in the retirement plan industry. The Finway Group has now become one of the fastest growing TPA firms in the Midwest as well as leading the industry in comprehensive ERISA 3(16) Plan Administration outsourcing.
In Steve’s spare time he enjoys golf, traveling, a great glass of wine, and spending time with his grandchildren.
