Cheers to 50 years, CPS Investment Advisors.

The Lakeland-based biz has been supporting the local community for a half-century now — not just as financial experts (though they’re pretty good at that, too) — but also as stewards of positive change.

Through their nonprofit, CPS Cares, and other avenues, their team has spent decades supporting Lakeland nonprofits, helping champion education, healthcare, and youth initiatives.

From donating school supplies and uniforms to a nearby elementary school to bringing holiday cheer to 500 kids across three organizations, CPS Cares is all about giving back to Lakelanders in need.

Looking ahead

The half-century anniversary also corresponds with another business milestone: new leadership.

Michael Riskin recently took the reins as the new President, and he’s committed the firm to another 50+ years of community support.
