Groover, who is their cousin, joined GFS Advisory in 2025 after spending 15 years in public accounting and auditing. He holds a master’s degree in accounting from Georgia Southern University.
The team said Raymond James’ banking and high-net-worth planning capabilities were important factors in the move and will support its approach to comprehensive, tax-aware financial planning.
