SEC-registered and state-registered firms are both ranked. Independent wealth management RIAs are ranked: firms whose individual and high net worth clients hold at least half of their regulatory assets and that offer financial planning or portfolio management for individuals, leaving out broker-dealers, banks and their advisory arms. The all wealth firms view ranks the same way with those broker-dealer affiliated firms added. Asset managers, private fund managers, pension consultants and platform managers are never ranked (see the methodology). State lists use each firm's main office state, or its registration state when the main office is not public. The US list leaves out firms whose main office is outside the United States. Equal values share a rank and are listed by CRD number.","unit":"count","scope":"West Virginia","firms_listed":16,"rows":[{"rank":1,"crd":135184,"firm":"McKinley Carter Wealth Services, Inc.","city":"Wheeling","state":"WV","value":659,"base_value":null,"succeeded_to_another_advisers_business":false,"url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/firms/135184/"},{"rank":2,"crd":324930,"firm":"Commonwealth Financial Services","city":"Vienna","state":"WV","value":226,"base_value":null,"succeeded_to_another_advisers_business":false,"url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/firms/324930/"},{"rank":3,"crd":334674,"firm":"Huffman & Ross Wealth Management LLC","city":"Morgantown","state":"WV","value":204,"base_value":null,"succeeded_to_another_advisers_business":false,"url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/firms/334674/"},{"rank":4,"crd":319087,"firm":"Hoxton Planning & Management, LLC","city":"Shepherdstown","state":"WV","value":172,"base_value":null,"succeeded_to_another_advisers_business":false,"url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/firms/319087/"},{"rank":5,"crd":111062,"firm":"NTV Asset Management, LLC","city":"Charleston","state":"WV","value":97,"base_value":null,"succeeded_to_another_advisers_business":false,"url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/firms/111062/"},{"rank":6,"crd":168695,"firm":"Fort Henry Capital, LLC","city":"Wheeling","state":"WV","value":86,"base_value":null,"succeeded_to_another_advisers_business":false,"url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/firms/168695/"},{"rank":7,"crd":128699,"firm":"Ironwood Wealth Management, Inc.","city":"Hurricane","state":"WV","value":79,"base_value":null,"succeeded_to_another_advisers_business":false,"url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/firms/128699/"},{"rank":8,"crd":340089,"firm":"Vandalia Wealth","city":"Charleston","state":"WV","value":25,"base_value":null,"succeeded_to_another_advisers_business":false,"url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/firms/340089/"},{"rank":9,"crd":331580,"firm":"Blackwater Financial","city":"Fairmont","state":"WV","value":23,"base_value":null,"succeeded_to_another_advisers_business":false,"url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/firms/331580/"},{"rank":10,"crd":161784,"firm":"Anthony Investment Management, LLC","city":"Wheeling","state":"WV","value":18,"base_value":null,"succeeded_to_another_advisers_business":false,"url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/firms/161784/"},{"rank":11,"crd":299876,"firm":"Rohr Capital Management","city":"Parkersburg","state":"WV","value":12,"base_value":null,"succeeded_to_another_advisers_business":false,"url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/firms/299876/"},{"rank":12,"crd":310990,"firm":"Blackbear Capital, LLC","city":"Ripley","state":"WV","value":8,"base_value":null,"succeeded_to_another_advisers_business":false,"url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/firms/310990/"},{"rank":13,"crd":298510,"firm":"Wna Wealth Management, LLC","city":"Charleston","state":"WV","value":6,"base_value":null,"succeeded_to_another_advisers_business":false,"url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/firms/298510/"},{"rank":13,"crd":309104,"firm":"Abw, LLC","city":"Green Bank","state":"WV","value":6,"base_value":null,"succeeded_to_another_advisers_business":false,"url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/firms/309104/"},{"rank":15,"crd":327702,"firm":"The Spano Group Wealth Managers","city":"President & Ceo","state":"WV","value":5,"base_value":null,"succeeded_to_another_advisers_business":false,"url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/firms/327702/"},{"rank":16,"crd":325480,"firm":"Jondaknows Financial Group, Inc.","city":"Huntinton","state":"WV","value":1,"base_value":null,"succeeded_to_another_advisers_business":false,"url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/firms/325480/"}]},"sources":[{"url":"https://www.sec.gov/files/investment/data/other/information-about-registered-investment-advisers-exempt-reporting-advisers/ia100226.zip","checked":"2026-10-07","label":"SEC, Information About Registered Investment Advisers (ia100226.zip)"},{"url":"https://adviserinfo.sec.gov/compilation","checked":"2026-10-07","label":"IAPD compilation reports (IA_FIRM_STATE_Feed_10_07_2026.xml.gz)"}],"related":[{"title":"Independent RIAs with the most high net worth clients, nationally","url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/rankings/most-hnw-clients/"},{"title":"RIA market data for West Virginia","url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/states/west-virginia/"},{"title":"All RIA rankings","url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/rankings/"},{"title":"How the directory is built","url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/methodology/"}],"notes":["Firms marked as successors reported on Form ADV Item 4 that they succeeded to another adviser's business; their growth is shown as reported.","Each ranking lists at most the top 100 firms."],"url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/rankings/most-hnw-clients/west-virginia/","citation":"AdvisorIQ, as of 2026-10-02. https://advisoriq.com/ria/rankings/most-hnw-clients/west-virginia/","license":"https://advisoriq.com/license/","publisher":"AdvisorIQ, independent education for financial advisors"}
