For Ann Covington, opening CovingtonAlsina’s newest office in Riverside Avondale was both a business decision and a return to a community she loves. “I fell in love with the neighborhood when I lived in Jacksonville 25 years ago,” Ann says. “We always want to be a part of the community, and being in a walkable environment helps with that.”

What sets CovingtonAlsina apart is a holistic, people-first approach to financial planning. Ann explains, “We focus on truly comprehensive planning, educating clients, and providing actionable steps to help clients move forward. It’s not just ‘open this investment account.’” Instead, the firm guides clients through each stage of their financial journey with clarity and care.

That commitment extends beyond the office. CovingtonAlsina has chosen historic districts for both of its locations, reflecting a belief that place matters. “We want clients to feel comfortable coming into our office, and being in a place like Riverside helps,” Ann notes.

Community involvement is central to CovingtonAlsina’s mission:

  • Nearly 10% of revenue is donated to local nonprofits.
  • Advisors and senior staff serve on nonprofit boards.
  • Free educational events are offered regularly.
  • Team members volunteer in schools, teaching financial literacy.

The Riverside office itself is undergoing restoration, breathing new life into a historic building. “Seeing the wood floors shine has been wonderful,” Ann shares. Once renovations are complete, CovingtonAlsina plans to open its spacious conference room to local groups for meetings.

CovingtonAlsina is also launching Women, Wine & Wisdom™, a community event series aimed at bringing women together to learn, connect, and inspire each other right here in Riverside Avondale.
