We have been extremely fortunate to have ACT Advisors manage our investments for over 5 yrs. Patrick Latta is brilliant & their staff professional and customer service oriented. So glad we found them.
ACT Advisers has managed my money for a couple years as created a sound long term financial plan. The results have been great. They advised me on strategies to save on taxes and modeled the financial impact of buying and selling real estate as we first bought a second home and are now building our dream home on Amelia Island. They have been superb in all respects. I highly recommend them.
Although my account is very small, Pat Latta is always there for me ready to offer sound advice regarding my financial situation. I appreciate his attention to someone who is not among his biggest clients.
Mr. Doug English, CFP of Act Advisors of Wealth Management, has been our financial advisor for the last 18 years, even before he moved to LPL. He had always provided sound advice, specifically designed for us, ensuring our financial and other life goals. We are immensely proud to learn that he has been included in LPL Financials’ Chairman’s Council, moving him to the top 1% of the LPL’s 21,000 strong nationwide network. His getting this honorable recognition demonstrates his expertise, hard work, and commitment to his clients to achieve their financial goals, that we have seen from day one till to date. His approach built with knowledge and trust is so unique and that has brought satisfaction to his clients including us. We have always felt that Doug and his group are with us during all circumstances. Being proud members of his leadership team, we are incredibly happy to say, “Our Hearty congratulations to Doug, and wish him the best”. Sincerely, Shaila n Vijay Shroff
Amazing group of advisors!
I have been with Doug English for approximately 20 years and trust Doug and his other advisors completely. When my husband passed away 10 years ago, Doug helped me maneuver... read more all the obstacles that came along and I needed lots of help at that time. Doug and Wes Johnson have always been there to answer any questions I have had, no matter how trivial. I would recommend them to anyone. They really take care of their clients.
We have worked with ACT Advisors for about 9 years now. My husband's parents introduced us as they were clients for many years before they passed. We have great confidence... read more in both Doug and Wes! We appreciate the regular updates via emails and videos and we are confident in the work they do! Pamela Patrick

In this episode of C.U. On The Show, Doug English welcomes back Peter Myers of DDJ Myers for a deep, practical conversation on board renewal and board performance. As credit unions face accelerated board turnover, CEO transitions, and shifting competitive pressures, Peter explains how boards can objectively assess their effectiveness, align on the most strategic priorities, and intentionally evolve to the next level of governance impact.

ACT Advisors’ Doug English reflects on 2025 market performance, the value of staying disciplined through volatility, and why thoughtful financial planning matters as we head into 2026.

How can credit unions use CUSOs (credit union service organizations) and FinTech partnerships as intentional tools for growth instead of one-off “shiny object” deals? In this episode of C.U. On The Show, host Doug English talks with Capstone Strategic’s John Dearing about approaching CUSOs and FinTechs with a proactive external growth strategy, deciding when to build, buy, or partner, and how collaboration can help credit unions pursue new opportunities.
We don’t believe in sales pressure or one-size-fits-all advice.
