Leslie Edgcomb Leaves RBC to Join Raymond James Financial Services in the Finger Lakes, New York

RUSHVILLE, NY — Winthrop & Co. is proud to formally announce that Leslie Edgcomb has joined Raymond James Financial Services, the independent advisor channel of Raymond James, continuing his practice serving clients across the Finger Lakes and greater Rochester region.

Leslie brings decades of experience to the move. He spent 13 years at RBC Wealth Management in Rochester, and before that served clients at Wachovia Securities, building long-tenured relationships with families across upstate New York. His move to Raymond James Financial Services gives that practice an independent structure with the resources of one of the industry's most advisor-focused firms behind it: broader investment architecture, established technology, and a culture long known for putting the advisor's ownership of the client relationship first.

Raymond James has been among the most consistent destinations nationally for established advisors seeking independence without giving up institutional depth, and its independent channel lets an advisor own the practice while keeping full-service capabilities behind it.

Winthrop & Co. worked with Leslie through his evaluation and transition, from the initial confidential conversation through his first day. As with every placement, the process was run quietly, on his timeline, and at no cost to him.

Winthrop & Co. is an independent consulting and advisor placement firm serving financial advisors nationwide. We represent the advisor, never the firm, across wirehouse, regional, independent broker-dealer, and RIA channels. Advisors exploring their options can request an introduction in complete confidence.
