Edmond, OK Office

Financial & Tax Architects provides discretionary portfolio management and financial planning primarily for individual and high‑net‑worth clients, with a concentration on those nearing or in retirement. The firm also offers retirement-plan consulting, one‑time 401(k) guidance, educational seminars, and ancillary services such as Wealth.com assistance to help clients prepare estate‑planning documents without legal advice.

FTA implements a series of proprietary “Private Wealth Strategies” that approximate market segments using exchange‑traded funds, individual securities and trend‑aware rebalancing, with accounts reviewed and rebalanced monthly; strategies can be customized at client request and are generally not managed on a tax‑sensitive basis. Most client relationships are discretionary, and FTA documents client objectives and risk tolerances to select strategic allocations across lower‑risk, moderate‑risk, and growth portfolios.

A notable feature is FTA’s sub‑advisory business providing investment models to other registered investment adviser firms — a service that is comparatively uncommon among multi‑team advisers and is described as impersonal (FTA does not enter into IAAs with the sub‑advised firms’ clients or possess their individualized information). The firm is also affiliated with a tax/accounting entity (FTA Tax Services) and insurance field marketing organizations that distribute annuities; these relationships and referral/commission arrangements are disclosed in the brochure and the firm describes policies intended to manage the resulting conflicts of interest.
