The May 4, 2015, issue of Forbes magazine highlights the accomplishments of several California-based financial services professionals.

As a prolific educator, award-winning author and former president of the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce, Lisa Detanna, MBA/WMS®, is no ordinary financial advisor. In fact, she is known throughout Southern California for her efforts to entertain and engage young people on the subject of responsible money management.

Detanna’s commitment to preparing heirs, along with her 25 years of success as an advisor, were recently profiled in “California Financial Leaders,” a special promotional section that periodically appears in Forbes. An article in the section highlights Detanna’s career, her unusual approach to financial planning, the impact she has made on thousands of children and young adults, and her highly successful advisory practice, Global Wealth Solutions Group of Raymond James.

“I’m honored to have been chosen by the publishers of this section,” Detanna says. “This profile in Forbes was a wonderful opportunity for me to encourage people to save and invest with purpose.”

Detanna has received numerous accolades for professional excellence. She was the recipient of the 2010 Barron’s Top 100 Women Financial Managers award and was listed among the Cambridge Who’s Who in 2009–2011. Detanna was also the 2001 Woman of Accomplishment for Bnai Zion, and she received the Citi Smith Barney Director’s Council award from 2007–2010 and the Chairman’s Council award in 2005 and 2006. In addition, Detanna was a Raymond James Chairman’s Council member in 2012, 2013 and 2014. The executive committee of the International Women’s Leadership Association declared her a delegate in 2014.

Although Detanna feels honored to be recognized, career and business success aren’t the goals of her practice. Her greatest rewards, she says, are the deeply personal relationships she enjoys with client families.

“As I tell my clients, it’s important to consider the impact we want to make on the world, and how well the next generation is prepared to preserve wealth,” Detanna says. “These are the things I care about most.”
