Every business owner and executive has a team of professionals who help make the organization a success. They are accountants, attorneys, bankers, insurance agents and wealth managers. These individuals are behind the scenes, offering their expertise as trusted advisers.

For the sixth year, Springfield Business Journal is recognizing these professionals. A new category, information technology professionals, was added this year.

The 2019 Trusted Advisers Awards honor 22 businesspeople, including up-and-comers for those with fewer than five years of experience and the Legacy Adviser pinnacle award, given to a 20-year veteran.

• Legacy Adviser: Judy Hadsall, CEO of Multipli Credit Union.

• Accountant: Jared Duckett, Duckett Ladd LLP; John Helms, Abacus CPAs LLC; and Amanda Kastler, Elliott Robinson & Co. LLP.

• Attorney: Doug Fredrick, The Law Office of Doug Fredrick LLC; Danielle Kincaid, The Elder Law Group LLC; and Heather Rooney McBride, Rooney McBride & Smith LLC.

• Banker: Scott Burton, Mid-Missouri Bank; Dustin Royster, Legacy Bank & Trust Co.; and Barbra Wallace, Central Bank of the Ozarks.
