Congratulations to our very own Matt Knoll, CFP®, Director of Financial Planning at The Planning Center, on being named to the Quad Cities Regional Business Journal’s 2026 40 Under 40!
This award recognizes 40 leaders under the age of 40 who are making a difference in the Quad Cities. Honorees will be featured in a special edition of the QCBJ and celebrated at an awards event at the Waterfront Convention Center in September. What makes this recognition especially meaningful is how it is judged. The selection panel weighs business success and civic and philanthropic contribution equally, which is a fitting way to describe how Matt shows up every day, for his clients and for the community he calls home. We are proud to celebrate this well-deserved honor with him.
The Forty Under 40 awards recognizes 40 leaders under the age of 40 who are making a difference in the Quad Cities. Winners are chosen by a panel that equally weighs business success and civic/philanthropic activities. Award year 2026.
