Bluespring Expands RIA Platform as Front Porch Joins U.S. Financial Services 

Bluespring Wealth Partners has announced that Front Porch Financial, a Kestra Financial–affiliated advisory practice, has joined existing Bluespring partner firm U.S. Financial Services, forming a combined organization overseeing approximately $1.7 billion in client assets. The addition gives U.S. Financial its fifth office location, complementing four existing sites across the northern and southeastern U.S. 

“Putting clients first is always my priority, and this partnership lets me do that on an even greater scale,” said Elizabeth Blanchard, founder of Front Porch Financial. “By working with Bluespring and U.S. Financial to put a succession plan in place, I can ensure long-term support for my clients.” 

The transaction caps a strong 2025 for Bluespring, which closed nine deals totaling more than $6 billion in assets under management as it continues to build a national network of growth- and succession-focused RIAs. 

“For Bluespring, this partnership strengthens our community of partner firms, and for Front Porch, clients will continue to benefit from the collaborative, forward-thinking approach to wealth management that they’ve come to experience via the Kestra ecosystem,” said Josh Bartholomew, Head of Business Development at Bluespring Wealth Partners.
