Our clients’ interests are our top priority. We work on a fee-only basis and do not sell commission-based products. This enables us to be objective and free from conflicts of interest when making recommendations to clients.
Our Advantage
- Fee-only: We are paid only by our clients. Most firms in our industry operate on a commission-based or fee-based approach. Commission-based firms get paid on the financial products they sell, and fee-based firms combine commissions and fees. There are huge conflicts of interest when advisors get paid by the product company providers. We simply do not engage in this.
- Fiduciary: We took a Fiduciary oath to act in the best interests of our clients at all times.
- Holistic: We look at your whole picture. We don’t just manage money. We provide comprehensive financial planning and investment management to create a total wealth management experience for our clients.
- Boutique: We are a highly specialized financial advisory firm offering customized services, and our clients experience a high-touch relationship.
