Earned, a leading tech-enabled wealth firm purpose-built for healthcare professionals, today announced the acquisition of OJM Group (OJM), an Ohio-based Registered Investment Adviser (RIA), financial planning, and insurance agency serving physicians and high-net-worth individuals across the U.S. for over 25 years.
The deal marks a key milestone in Earned’s national expansion strategy to achieve its mission to build the most comprehensive, fully integrated, technology-driven financial services firm for healthcare professionals, their families, and their practices. The addition of OJM’s expertise in investment management, asset protection, corporate & personal planning, insurance, and benefit planning reflects Earned’s latest move to attract best-in-class firms to its unique platform.
“Earned is well-positioned to be the only financial partner a doctor will ever need, helping them maximize wealth, protect assets, and optimize taxes through every stage of their career,” said John Clendening, founder and CEO of Earned. “The OJM team has developed an incredible business built on trust and strong client outcomes. Integrating into the Earned platform will allow us to collectively deliver an even more modern, seamless client experience — along with an expanded suite of financial, accounting, and legal services to further support every aspect of our clients’ wealth goals.”
OJM’s 12 professionals will join Earned’s team of over 230 employees nationwide. OJM services specifically enhance the scale of Earned Wealth Advisors, Earned’s RIA, by adding nearly $1B in assets under management (AUM).
“For over 25 years, OJM has helped doctors navigate the full complexity of their financial lives,” said Jason O’Dell, Co-founder and Managing Partner, OJM. “By joining Earned, our clients gain access to advanced technology and sophisticated strategies that unlock deeper tax savings and a more seamless, unified wealth experience.”
With this acquisition, Earned now serves nearly 19,500 clients and manages a collective $3.4 billion in AUM. Since its $200 million capital investment led by Summit Partners and Silversmith Capital Partners in June 2024, Earned has acquired Thomas Doll, Chahal and Associates, Schwartz and Schwartz, and Pearson Ravitz, and entered a strategic partnership with Dental & Medical Counsel, P.C.
“We are pleased with the momentum achieved this year, adding high quality teams with stellar reputations, and successfully integrating their services with the Earned platform,” continued Clendening. “Our model is proven to benefit the firms joining Earned, and the clients we collectively serve, with a shared mission to build, strengthen and protect doctors’ wealth.”
The company plans to continue executing against its growth strategy through 2026.
