Your financial confidence, Our commitment to you...

  • Understanding You: We take the time to listen and understand what truly matters to you. Your goals and priorities shape our strategy.
  • Annual Plan Updates: Life is dynamic, and we recognize that. We proactively update your financial plan annually to reflect the changes in your life, ensuring it aligns with your evolving needs.
  • Transparent Communication: Your investments are monitored regularly, and any necessary changes are made with careful consideration. When adjustments are made, we provide clear explanations via email, keeping you informed every step of the way.
  • Clear Fee Structure: Transparency is key. Our fee schedule is clear and straightforward, ensuring you have a full understanding of the costs associated with our services.
  • Personalized Meetings: We value face-to-face interactions. We meet with you twice a year, offering a detailed update on your financial plan in the Fiduciary Meeting and discussing market analysis and account performance in the Strategy Session.
  • Accessible Support: Your calls matter. During business hours, a real, live person will answer your calls, and if we miss you, we'll promptly return your message.
  • Tax and Estate Planning: At your request, we collaborate with your CPA and attorney to review effective tax strategies and estate plans, ensuring a comprehensive approach to your financial well-being.
  • Extended Support: We go beyond by meeting with your family or friends at no charge to discuss financial wellness. If they are important to you, they are important to us.
