These firms, Vinoble Group and Unionview Wealth Partners, bring a combined total of $930 million in client assets under management (AUM), further strengthening Composition Wealth’s national presence.
This strategic move marks the first set of acquisitions under the firm’s new brand identity, reinforcing its commitment to growth and client-focused financial advisory services. With these additions, Composition Wealth’s total client assets reach an impressive $8.6 billion as of February 28, 2025.

“These partnerships expand our presence in Seattle while staying true to our vision of bringing together accomplished advisors who share our client-first approach,” said Bruce Milam, Chief Executive Officer of Composition “Both firms have built impressive practices by taking time to understand their clients’ individual needs and creating comprehensive solutions. This approach aligns perfectly with our commitment to helping clients craft their own financial success stories.”
Meet the Newly Acquired Firms
Vinoble Group: A Legacy of Independent Financial Guidance
Vinoble Group, one of the two newly acquired firms, manages $630 million in client assets and has built a strong reputation in the Seattle area. Established in 2016 as an independent RIA after breaking away from a full-service brokerage firm, Vinoble Group has since grown into a prominent financial advisory firm serving over 400 clients.
The firm’s comprehensive service offerings include wealth management, group benefits consulting, and tax planning, catering to a diverse clientele with varying financial needs. Over the years, Vinoble has expanded through local mergers, strengthening its capabilities and providing a broader range of services to its clients.
Brian Johnson, Founder of Vinoble Group, expressed enthusiasm about the transition, stating, “By joining the Composition team, we have the ability to tap into an expanded service offering that will directly benefit our clients while maintaining our client service philosophy.” Johnson, along with his full 15-person team, will be joining Composition as a Partner, Advisor.
Unionview Wealth Partners: A Trusted Partner for High-Net-Worth Clients
Unionview Wealth Partners, established in 2009, has built a strong reputation for delivering personalized financial planning and customized portfolio management services to high-net-worth families. Managing approximately $300 million in client assets, the firm has been dedicated to helping clients achieve their long-term financial goals through tailored investment strategies.
The firm is led by Managing Partner Katie Pieper and Partner Craig Hanson, CFA, both of whom will transition to Composition Wealth as Partner, Wealth Advisors. Pieper emphasized the alignment between Unionview’s approach and Composition Wealth’s philosophy, stating, “Composition Wealth’s commitment to comprehensive wealth management aligns perfectly with how we’ve always served our clients and provides us with additional capabilities to support their long-term success.”
Strengthening Capabilities Through Integration
The integration of Vinoble Group and Unionview Wealth Partners into Composition Wealth is expected to bring significant advantages to both the firm and its clients. With a focus on enhancing service offerings, these acquisitions strengthen Composition ability to provide specialized expertise across various aspects of wealth management.
“These new additions to our team reflect our commitment to enhancing our service capabilities across our entire organization,” said Nate Angelo, Head of Management at Composition “Brian and his team bring valuable expertise in group benefits consulting and tax planning, creating a symbiotic relationship that strengthens our comprehensive service model. By integrating these specialized capabilities, we can offer even more holistic solutions to clients across all our markets while maintaining the personalized approach that defines Composition Wealth.”
The acquired firms will continue to operate from Composition Wealth’s Seattle office, ensuring a smooth transition for clients and team members alike. Full integration is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2025.
The Role of Strategic Advisors in the Transactions
The successful completion of these acquisitions was supported by leading financial advisory firms. MarshBerry served as the financial advisor to Vinoble Group, bringing extensive expertise in guiding RIAs through mergers and acquisitions. Meanwhile, Advisor Growth Strategies played a crucial role as a transaction advisor to Unionview Partners, ensuring a seamless transition process.
The Future of Composition Wealth
Composition Wealth’s latest acquisitions underscore its ongoing commitment to expanding its footprint in key markets while maintaining the high standards of service and client care that have defined its reputation.

The rebranding from Miracle Mile Advisors to Composition Wealth was a strategic decision aimed at reflecting the firm’s evolving mission and expanding national presence. With a strong foundation in place and a clear growth trajectory, Composition Wealth is well-positioned to continue its expansion into new markets, offering a broad range of financial services tailored to meet the unique needs of its clients.
“Our journey is about more than just growth—it’s about building a firm that stands the test of time, providing unparalleled financial guidance to our clients and empowering our advisors to succeed,” said Milam. “We are excited about what lies ahead and look forward to welcoming more like-minded advisors and firms into the Composition Wealth family.”
