Commitment to Municipal Finance
For nearly 80 years, Stone & Youngberg has focused on the business of municipal finance. In these times of global consolidation, the firm remains an independently owned and operated institution -- an increasingly rare business model in financial services.
As other firms have come and gone in the public finance market, Stone & Youngberg has remained focused on the needs of America's cities, counties, school districts and states. In fact, Stone & Youngberg has continued to expand with offices in California, Arizona, the Mid-Atlantic and the Northeast. The firm's strong history and heritage will continue to help local leaders shape the economic future of communities around the nation.
