My name is Taylor Stewart, and I am the founder of Ataroke Wealth. I founded Ataroke based on two core beliefs. The first is that people just want to make the most of their money. What that means is they want to feel like they’re being intentional, like they’ve considered all of their options, and they’re doing the best that they can. They want to know that they’re putting the right amount of money to work in the right places to be able to do what is important to them. Or as one client put it, “I just don’t want to do anything stupid.” I also believe that people want help with this but they don’t often get help because they feel like they’re just going to get sold something. That’s why I started Ataroke, to be able to help people make the most of their money without all of the sales BS and conflicts of interest that have become so common in our industry. At Ataroke, we provide comprehensive fee-only financial advice which means 1) we can answer almost any question, and 2) we are only paid by you, there are no sales. So whether you’re looking for an ongoing partnership or just have a one-time planning need, I invite you to take a look at how we can help. And remember, when it comes to Ataroke, there are no sales, there’s just advice.
