Harmon Kong

Harmon Kong is the visionary Founding Director of Apriem Advisors, paving the way for the next generation of leaders. He started Apriem after growing tired of working for larger firms that prioritized revenue over relationships. He wanted to build something different: a firm where client and staff relationships came first, with a client-to-staff ratio deliberately kept low. That commitment hasn’t changed since, and it never will. Today, Harmon focuses on the firm’s long-term vision, mentoring the next generation of leaders, and ensuring Apriem’s client-first philosophy continues for generations to come. Under Harmon’s leadership, Apriem has earned recognition across the industry. He led the firm to being named to USA Today’s Best Financial Advisory Firms list in the one billion-to-five-billion-dollar range, to AdvisorHub’s 2026 list of Advisors to Watch managing over one billion dollars, and to CNBC’s Financial Advisor 100 list in 2025.
