Team and Platform

Wealth Advisors

We are practitioners first, not salespeople, combining industry leading qualifications (CFA®, CPA, CFP®) with top tier experience and education, to provide a high quality of service we are proud of. Our advisors work as a team across all engagements, with one point person per client, but leaning on one another's expertise where required. Despite working with clients primarily over Zoom, we are in office five days a week to maximize the benefit of our combined expertise. The client engagement process (planning, investing and coaching) is therefore uniform across all clients, ensuring the quality of service remains as high as possible for every client.

We are able to provide the desired level of service as a small and independent firm because of our team's experience, qualifications, education and, most importantly, similarity to our core clients. We too are young professionals, living in or adjacent to a big city, in the wealth building phase of our lives, laying the foundation for our financial independence, all while living our best lives on the way.
