Founder of Hueston Financial Services Division of Financial Trust Asset Management

Welcome to A. Stephen Hueston IV’s world of finance, where expertise meets passion. As a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and Certified Financial Planner (CFP^®), I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table, helping individuals and businesses navigate the complex landscape of finance and taxation.

My journey in the financial realm began at the prestigious University of Florida, where I earned my bachelor's degree in finance. Fueling my passion for numbers, I further honed my skills with a bachelor's degree in accounting from the University of South Florida. However, my entry into the world of finance started even before college.

In high school, I immersed myself in the inner workings of financial management by working at my father's CPA firm. Initially handling administrative tasks, I quickly found my way into the heart of tax and accounting work. This early exposure laid the foundation for a robust understanding of the intricacies of financial planning.

Upon graduating from college, I embraced the opportunity to contribute my skills and knowledge to my father's CPA firm while simultaneously working with another financial planner. This dual experience not only broadened my expertise but also emphasized the importance of integrating financial planning and tax strategies seamlessly.

Driven by a vision to provide unparalleled service in the realms of tax and financial planning, I took the leap and founded my own financial planning firm in 2022. My mission is to offer clients a comprehensive approach to their financial well-being, ensuring that tax considerations are intricately woven into every financial decision. In 2025, I decided to merge Hueston Financial Services as a division of Financial Trust Asset Management to provide more streamlined services for clients.
