Tamara Kukainis and Daniel Kukainis operate Schwartz Financial Services in Marlton, New Jersey, a firm founded by Tamara’s father, Julian Schwartz, in 1958, and led by Tamara since 1997. The pair will affiliate with the Firstrust Financial Resources team, which is part of Equitable Advisors’ greater Philadelphia branch.
Tamara Kukainis has 35 years of experience, according to her BrokerCheck report, and had been affiliated with Cetera since 2013.
The pair joined Equitable in order to provide better services for their clients.
“We’re extremely proud of our legacy, which spans more than six decades of helping clients achieve financial wellness,” Tamara Kukainis said in a statement. “As we explored the right firm to help take our financial guidance and service excellence to the next level, Equitable Advisors was the clear choice for us. Its open-architecture platform gives us a wider array of solutions to meet our clients’ and their families’ full range of needs.”
