Meet Our Team

Dunlap & Associates is proud to partner with Commonwealth Financial Network®, a Registered Investment Adviser–broker/dealer that helps independent advisors like us serve their clients. Commonwealth manages total account assets of nearly $200.7 billion.⁽¹⁾ Just like us, Commonwealth is independently owned and managed, which means Dunlap & Associates can act in the best interests of its financial advisors and their clients—not shareholders. Our partnership with Commonwealth supports my commitment to remain free to act in your best interest, without any pressure to promote proprietary products or strategies.

• How Commonwealth helps us help you

  J.D. Power ranks Commonwealth “#1 in Independent Advisor Satisfaction Among Financial Investment Firms, Seven Times in a Row.”⁽²⁾ But it’s what that achievement means for clients—on a daily basis—that makes the difference. Commonwealth offers the scale, stability, and resources that help us deliver the solutions you need. It’s that infrastructure—and the always expanding wealth of resources it provides—that makes it easier for SHRP to provide you with the best possible guidance and the prompt, personal service you expect and deserve.

  • Choice. Through Commonwealth, we have access to robust, independent market research, financial planning expertise, and a wide universe of investment options—from individual stocks and bonds to mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, alternative investments, managed accounts, and retirement plans.
  • Service. The firm’s advisor-to-staff ratio is one of the best in the industry. This means staff members answer calls promptly, execute transactions quickly and accurately, and, in general, offer firms the same highly personalized treatment we strive to give you.
  • Technology. Commonwealth’s technology platform is a critical component in the ability to keep you on track to your financial goals. Its integrated web-based systems allow us to more efficiently manage your portfolio and your overall financial life.
  • Security. Commonwealth is second to none in its commitment to safeguarding your privacy and ensuring that your personal data remains secure. From encryption standards to disaster recovery plans and other measures the firm employs, we are confident that the information clients entrust us with will remain secure.
• Committed to helping those in need

  Commonwealth’s commitment to service does not end with its advisors and their clients. For more than four decades, the firm has been dedicated to serving the communities where its employees and affiliated advisors work, live, and visit. Its charitable foundation, Commonwealth Cares, works to provide contributions of time, talent, and financial support to a wide range of philanthropic causes. That kind of dedication to the greater good is just one more reason we’re proud to be affiliated with Commonwealth.
