Who we are.
A fresh Approach.
When people have money questions, many wonder if they should ask a professional, perhaps a banker, an insurance agent, or even a stockbroker. However, their job is to sell financial products and represent the company they work for.
But, who represents YOU and what you want?
How do you know if you’re getting quality, cost-effective advice? It can be difficult to feel confident about advice from conflicted parties.
That’s where we come in. We are fee-only, fiduciary Advisors who provide objective advice by representing you and your needs, not the institutions.
frequently asked questions
Are You a fiduciary?
Always! Not only are we a fiduciary, but we take it a step further by being a fee-only advisory firm.
is fee-only and fee-based the same?
Not at all. Fee-based is a confusing, similar-sounding phrase that means the Advisor can charge a fee AND make commissions from other products. Rather, we are fee-ONLY.
Can you do limited-scope engagements?
Yes, most of the time. Depending on the situation, we can be hired to listen, discuss and provide advice on an hourly basis. For clients with a high net worth ($2+ million), we will require a more in-depth planning process.
i have a lot of debt, can you help?
Maybe. For clients with limited cash flow, minimal assets, and significant debt, we might not be the best fit for long-term budget accountability or bankruptcy evaluations.
is asset management required?
No, but many of our higher net worth clients choose for us to manage their liquid assets to achieve lower-stress and confidence that portfolio adjustments are made in a precise and timely manner.
do you have client minimums?
No, but our services are more cost-effective for clients who have financial means.
Our Asset Management services generally have a $1 million minimum.
what is your investment philosophy?
We believe that lower-cost, diversified portfolios are a far more prudent way to grow and preserve wealth over time.
We believe high expenses and personal biases/behavior - that all people are susceptible to - can erode wealth over time.
