Momentum at McGill Junge
The firm’s momentum is also reflected in the national recognition its advisors have received. The team celebrates Ed McGill’s inclusion in Barron’s Top 1,500 Financial Advisors list and recognition in Forbes rankings, reinforcing the firm’s reputation for delivering thoughtful, personalized guidance.
As client needs have evolved, McGill Junge has continued to expand its capabilities through a more integrated approach to financial planning. A key step in that evolution is its partnership with Northwestern Mutual to offer Family Office Services, enhancing support for high-net-worth individuals, businesses and families with more complex financial situations.

At the same time, McGill Junge remains committed to serving clients earlier in their financial journey, providing guidance that supports long-term progress and confidence.
Commitment to Community
The firm’s commitment to Des Moines also extends beyond client service. Giving back is a central part of McGill Junge’s culture, with team members volunteering together quarterly and supporting local organizations through service and philanthropy, including United Way’s Tocqueville Society, Greater Des Moines Habitat for Humanity and Count the Kicks.
“Our focus has always been on growing alongside our clients and continuing to meet their needs as they evolve,” said Ed McGill. “As financial lives become more complex, it is important that our capabilities grow with them.”
This approach has helped position the firm as a trusted resource for individuals, families and business owners throughout the region. By combining personalized advice with expanded capabilities and a commitment to giving back, McGill Junge continues to meet clients where they are while helping them plan for what comes next.
Investing in the Future
Looking ahead, the firm remains focused on building on this momentum, strengthening its presence locally and continuing to invest in its people, its offerings and the community it calls home.
