About Us
Founded in 2006

First Aurora Financial Group has been a cornerstone of the East Aurora and greater Western New York Community. With a team of over ten experienced advisors and multiple locations, we are committed to empowering our clients to achieve their financial aspirations. In 2025, we merged with EMS Wealth Management, which not only enhanced our current services and resources, but solidified our continuity plans well into the future.
Rooted in Western New York

Our main office is proudly located on the second floor of the historic Griggs & Ball Grain Mill Building in East Aurora, originally built in 1918. While the building has been meticulously renovated, its original architectural integrity and historic charm remain intact. Additionally, in partnership with Emerling, Floss, Murphy & Associates, we have offices in Clarence and Lockport, ensuring convenient meeting locations for our clients around WNY.
