Biography
Steve Cassaday, CFP®, CFS, has been advising investors professionally since 1977. In 1993, after 16 years holding senior and management positions with several major New York Stock Exchange member firms, Steve abandoned the traditional Wall Street brokerage model and founded Cassaday & Company, Inc., an independent advisory firm.
His vision: to provide objective guidance to investors seeking advice about their financial situations, to do so with the highest levels of honesty, integrity, and overall excellence possible, and to provide faultless quality and courteous service – at a reasonable price.
Since Cassaday & Company, Inc.'s inception, the firm has been recognized for employee development, community service, as a best place to work, as one of the fastest growing companies in the country, and as one of the top wealth advisors in the United States, by outlets such as Barron's, Inc. 5000, Investment News, Financial Times, Washingtonian, Forbes, and more. For a full list of awards and award details, see http://www.cassaday.com/awards-and-recognition/.
In 2021, Barron’s ranked Steve as the #1 Advisor in Virginia for the seventh time on its list of ‘America’s Top 1,200 Advisors: State by State’. Barron’s has also cited Steve as one of the Top 100 Independent Financial Advisors in the country and recognized him on its Top 100 Advisors list for all financial advisors in the United States. Steve has appeared on both the Barron’s Top 1,200 Advisors and Top 100 Independent Advisors lists every year the awards have been offered and in 2019 was admitted into the Barron’s Hall of Fame.
A recognized financial industry thought leader and sought-after speaker, Steve has given over 1,000 dynamic and informative presentations on investments, financial planning, portfolio management, personal development, and productivity, regularly addressing others in the industry and academia as well as speaking before corporate gatherings, associations, community groups, and at public seminars.
While being recognized for industry expertise is important, Steve is especially proud that Cassaday & Company, Inc. is consistently ranked as a Best Place to Work. Although a common slogan, he truly believes that the firm’s employees are its greatest resource. Being regularly cited as an outstanding workplace celebrates this belief and fulfills one of Steve’s key objectives as founder of the firm: create a workplace that will attract and retain top talent and make sure that the professionals employed “think like owners.”
Steve is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®) and Certified Funds Specialist (CFS). He has served terms as past President and Chairman of the Financial Planning Association (FPA) of the National Capital Area. In 2003, Steve received the FPA Leadership Award for outstanding service to the profession.
Steve and his wife Mary, live in Reston, Virginia. Their three sons, Chad, Kyle and Chris, are all employed at Cassaday & Company, Inc.
