Lowell Pratt, CFA, earns national recognition from his Reston, VA headquarters, where the firm has served Northern Virginia & clients nationwide for more than 50 years
RESTON, Va., April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Burney Wealth Management announced today that Lowell Pratt, CFA, President of The Burney Company, has been named to Barron’s Top 1500 Financial Advisors list for the 13th consecutive year, ranking #3 in Virginia for 2026. The Burney Company is headquartered in Reston, VA. Since 1974, Burney and Burney Wealth Management have provided financial planning, investment management, and tax planning to clients across the Washington, D.C., metro area, Northern Virginia, and nationwide.
The recognition comes as Burney Wealth Management continues to grow its presence in the region, serving clients throughout Washington D.C., Arlington, Alexandria, Reston, Vienna, and the communities along the Dulles corridor. The firm works with individuals and families at different stages of their financial lives: professionals managing equity compensation and concentrated stock positions, business owners planning an eventual exit, and pre-retirees seeking comprehensive retirement & tax planning. The common thread is complexity that requires coordinated planning across investments, taxes, and long-term financial planning.
“This recognition is a reflection of the clients we’ve had the privilege of working with here in Northern Virginia and nationwide,” said Pratt. “The work we do is long-term. We’ve been doing it in this community for over 50 years. That consistency matters, and it’s something we work hard to earn every year.”
The Burney Company was ranked #4 nationally and #1 in Virginia on CNBC’s 2025 FA 100 list of top financial advisory firms. The firm operates as a fee-only registered investment adviser and has held fiduciary status since its founding. The Burney Company has an affiliated tax group, Burney Tax Advisors, with in-house CPA’s that work alongside the financial planning team.
