Buchheister said Cetera is grateful for Bond’s contributions over the past three years, noting the firm’s record growth in 2023.
“Looking ahead, we’re excited to have Michael in this important role, and view this rapid transition as an early success of our Avantax integration,” Buchheister said. “He was a natural choice for Cetera leadership based on his experience and the role he played in growing Avantax.”
Before Avantax, Molnar was a buy-side investor, investment banker, sell-side equity analyst, strategy consultant and certified public accountant, working at firms such as Goldman Sachs, Accenture and Arthur Andersen.
