Forbes Best-In-State Financial Security Professional

FARGO FINANCIAL PROFESSIONAL EARNS FORBES RANKING FOR SECOND STRAIGHT YEAR

Fargo, N.D. August 22, 2025: For the second year in a row, Alex Vasichek at Elevate Financial (Fargo, ND) has been named as a Forbes Best-In-State Financial Securities Professional. The nationally recognized award is based on both quantitative and qualitative measures, such as best practices, compliance records, and years of service. Just as importantly, the governing body also interviews Financial Security

Professionals (FSP) personally to see if they are role models who would be recommended to the world. According to Forbes: “There is a lot riding on our recommendations. More than 5 million readers and 66 million unique monthly visitors to forbes.com have come to rely on our research to plan their financial futures.”

“We never take this award for granted,” says Vasichek, one of only 6 financial advisors in North Dakota to receive the honor. It represents the culmination of more than a decade focusing on the well being of farm estates and other small businesses as a certified Agricultural Focused Financial Planner, Farm Succession Coordinator and Financial Advisor.  

Rooted in local agriculture, Vasichek grew up in Michigan, ND working for his family’s equipment dealership. There, the needs of farmers, ranchers, and other small business owners became ingrained at an early age and led to his understanding of the ag community and its unique financial, and familial challenges.
