EY Announces Shirl Penney of Dynasty Financial Partners as an Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2023 Florida Award Finalist

Entrepreneur Of The Year celebrates ambitious entrepreneurs who are building bolder futures

Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) today announced that Shirl Penney of Dynasty Financial Partners was named an Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2023 Florida Award finalist. Now in its 37th year, Entrepreneur Of The Year is one of the preeminent competitive business awards for transformative entrepreneurs and leaders of high-growth companies who are building a more equitable, sustainable and prosperous world for all.

Shirl Penney was selected by an independent panel of judges. Entrepreneurs were evaluated based on their demonstration of building long-term value through entrepreneurial spirit, purpose, growth and impact, among other core contributions and attributes.

“I started Dynasty with my partners more than 12 years ago to address a glaring problem. Back then especially, independent financial advisors in the RIA channel lacked a product-neutral source for the infrastructure, growth capital, and community they needed to compete with some of the world's largest financial institutions -- and that's the role we staked out for ourselves. We wanted to help more independent financial advisors (RIAs) of integrity service and reach more clients who needed their help to improve their financial well-being with a focus on education and advice for the client, not a focus on product sales. While at the same time, we wanted to help them build better businesses,” commented Shirl Penney.

“We now support more than 330 independent advisors on our platform with more than $75 billion in end-client assets, making us one of the largest independent wealth-management platforms in America.”

“I would also like to congratulate the other finalists. For me, recognition as a finalist for the E&Y Entrepreneur Of The Year Award for Florida reflects my luck in being surrounded by a world-class support system, which starts with my wife Mary Ann, and our daughters. Dynasty is Dynasty because of our internal stakeholders and team members, our resource partners, and our remarkable roster of investors who have supported us from day one. But most of all, Dynasty is Dynasty because of our clients, the independent advisors, whom it is we have the privilege to serve. It’s these verticals, all working together, that have made Dynasty such a success -- and it’s with them that I celebrate this generous recognition. At Dynasty, we get to live our American Dream by empowering others to live their American Dream.”

Regional award winners will be announced on June 8, during a special celebration. The winners will then be considered by the National judges for the Entrepreneur Of The Year National Awards, which will be presented in November at the annual Strategic Growth Forum®, one of the nation’s most prestigious gatherings of high-growth, market-leading companies. The Entrepreneur Of The Year National Overall Award winner will then move on to compete for the EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year™ Award in June 2024.

The Entrepreneur Of The Year program has recognized more than 11,000 entrepreneurs throughout the US since its inception in 1986, and it has grown to recognize business leaders across 145 cities in over 60 countries around the world.
