HUDSON, OH — Janney Montgomery Scott LLC, a leading full-service wealth management firm, announced today that its Hudson, Ohio office has surpassed $1.3 billion in assets under management as of September 30, 2026, marking a significant milestone less than a year after Janney established its presence in Hudson.
The office’s growth has been driven by the addition of GFR & Associates, led by Financial Advisors Garret Ferrara and Michele Ferrara, and Noel Becker, Senior Vice President / Wealth Management, Financial Advisor, along with the continued growth of their respective practices.
Janney opened its Hudson office in November 2025 when GFR & Associates joined the firm. Noel Becker joined the Hudson office in March 2026, further expanding Janney’s presence and capabilities in Northeast Ohio.
“Surpassing this milestone represents much more than a number—it reflects the trust our clients place in us and the momentum we have built since joining Janney,” said Garret Ferrara, Senior Vice President / Wealth Management, Financial Advisor. “Janney has provided us with the resources, flexibility, and collaborative environment to continue growing while remaining focused on delivering the personalized advice and service our clients expect.”
The Hudson office serves individuals, families, businesses, and retirement plan sponsors throughout Northeast Ohio and beyond. Its Financial Advisors bring decades of combined financial services experience and a shared commitment to helping clients navigate their financial lives through personalized advice and long-term relationships.
“Hudson has proven to be a tremendous home for our practice, and we are proud to be part of Janney’s continued growth in Ohio,” said Noel Becker, Senior Vice President / Wealth Management, Financial Advisor. “This milestone is ultimately a reflection of our clients and the relationships we have been fortunate to build over many years. We look forward to continuing to serve them and growing our presence in this community.”
Beyond their work with clients, members of the Hudson office remain engaged in the communities they serve, including supporting local organizations, educational institutions, and the arts.
“The growth of our Hudson office demonstrates the strength of the advisors we have welcomed to Janney and the opportunity we see across Northeast Ohio,” said Tom Galvin, Janney’s Midwest Regional Director. “Garret, Michele, Noel, and their colleagues have built deeply rooted client relationships, and we are proud to support their continued growth at Janney.”
The Hudson office is currently located at 1742 Georgetown Road, Suite H, Hudson, Ohio 44236 and is expected to announce the grand opening of its new office in First & Main in the coming months.
