Abacus Advisers

Members of our team attended The Network for Springfield's Young Professionals' SGForum today, and can we just say... it was amazing!

Not just because our Chief Excellence Officer, Andrea Battaglia, took the stage, but because the 417-land community showed up and showed out! It was an incredible day filled with connection, growth, and learning.

During her session, Andrea challenged us all with one powerful question:
"What would I do next if I trusted my capability?"

It's a question worth sitting with.

So now, we're challenging you: What would you do if you trusted your capability? What would change if you acted courageously, even before you felt ready?

Growth doesn't wait for confidence. Sometimes confidence is built by taking the next step anyway.

Great job today, Andrea! We're proud to have you representing Abacus! and inspiring leaders across our community.

There’s a difference between completing a task and truly owning the outcome.

That’s exactly what Riley Gatten and Gwynn Smail do, and it’s why they’ve been named recipients of the 2026 Abacus Values Award for Ownership.

This award recognizes team members who take pride in their work, show a desire to succeed and remain committed to doing what is best for clients, coworkers and the firm. Riley and Gwynn live that out through initiative, follow-through and a steady commitment to excellent work.

The Abacus Values Awards were created to celebrate individuals who reflect our values in the way they work, serve and build relationships across Abacus!

Congratulations to Riley and Gwynn!

Abacus! is excited to announce the promotion of 26 team members across the firm. These individuals have shown continued growth, ownership, and dedication while making meaningful contributions to our clients, colleagues, and culture.

“Promotions are about more than a new title at Abacus!. They represent growth, ownership, and the consistent effort our people put into serving clients and supporting one another,” said Bill Dunton, Managing Partner.

Please join us in congratulating this talented group on their well-deserved promotions 👏💚

We’re excited to share that Andrea Battaglia, Chief Excellence Officer at Abacus!, will be speaking at the 8th annual SGForum, presented by The Network for Springfield's Young Professionals!

SGForum is The Network’s yearly conference designed to bring young professionals together for a day of connection, learning, and inspiration.

Congratulations, Andrea! We can’t wait to see you on the SGForum stage💚
