The addition of Christians and Cunningham, alongside their former team members, allows the firm to offer a more comprehensive suite of services to depository institutions and non-depository entities, including FinTech, mortgage banking, and consumer finance firms. This move integrates specialized advisory capabilities directly into FHN Financial’s existing platform.

Tim Romanow, President of FHN Financial, noted that the integration provides clients with a unified partner for navigating complex balance sheet management and strategic decision-making. For Christians and Cunningham, the transition offers a chance to pair their established advisory track record with the broader distribution network of a larger organization. The new group aims to leverage these expanded resources to serve the evolving needs of financial institutions, focusing on long-term growth and client-centric solutions.
