Arbor Financial Services Expands to Fort Lauderdale, Hires Wealth Manager Michael Knight, CFP®

Firm opens first of five planned East Coast offices as part of continued growth and commitment to income-based planning

MELBOURNE, Fla., May 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Arbor Financial Services of Florida Inc. today announced the hiring of Michael Knight, CFP^®, as its newest wealth manager. Knight will operate out of Arbor Financial's new location in Fort Lauderdale, marking a key step in the firm's mission to improve the financial well-being of individuals and families across Florida.

Knight will work closely with clients to develop personalized financial plans and income-generating investment strategies tailored to their retirement goals. Before joining Arbor Financial, he was a key member of a private client wealth management team, managing a $600 million book of high-net-worth clients nationwide. He specialized in customized portfolio management, tax-efficient strategies, estate planning, and comprehensive financial guidance.

The new office, located at 500 W. Cypress Creek Road, Suite 290, Fort Lauderdale, is the first of five locations Arbor Financial plans to open along Florida's East Coast over the next three years. The firm's expansion reflects its continued commitment to providing personalized, income-based financial planning to more communities. As Arbor Financial aligns more closely with the Retirement Income Source^® network — a nationwide group of income-focused financial advisors — these efforts reinforce their dedication to helping clients build steady, reliable income throughout retirement.

"Michael Knight brings exceptional knowledge and experience that will transform the way people in South Florida approach wealth planning," said Jeffrey Small, president of Arbor Financial Services of Florida Inc. "With headlines dominated by fears of recession and increased market volatility, income-generating investments provide the stability and peace of mind people need to protect their hard-earned savings."
