Led by father-son principals Ralph and Michael Porpora, and supported by registered administrative assistant, Mary Brennan, the firm joins from B. Riley Wealth Management and affiliates with New York Financial Partners (“NYFP”), based in Jericho, New York.

The Porpora team's proactive approach combines financial planning with tax strategies to deliver a unified, streamlined experience aimed at supporting clients’ long-term success.

“We chose Osaic because of its flexibility, robust platform and sense of community. We now have access to a tremendous amount of services and a sophisticated platform of products which we feel will benefit our clients,” said Michael Porpora, principal at Porpora Wealth Management. “Our experience since joining has more than validated that decision. The support we’ve received from Howard Asch, Ken Femiano and the NYFP team in all aspects of our transition has far exceeded our expectations.”

“It’s been a privilege to work with the Porporas during this transition,” said Ken Femiano, founding partner at New York Financial Partners. “They bring integrity, deep technical expertise and a genuine passion for client success. We look forward to supporting their continued growth.”
