About
The firm provides discretionary investment management and broader wealth management services to individuals and high‑net‑worth clients, including financial planning and retirement‑account guidance. It manages approximately $12.2 million on behalf of a very small client base and may implement all or part of client portfolios using unaffiliated independent managers.
The firm’s investment work is primarily long‑term and grounded in fundamental analysis, with portfolios constructed from low‑cost mutual funds and ETFs and occasional use of individual stocks or bonds; accounts are monitored regularly and may be rebalanced or adjusted to harvest gains or losses or to address changing client needs. The adviser operates under a fiduciary standard, typically exercises discretionary trading authority, and generally uses an institutional custody platform for execution and custody services.
What is distinctive is the firm’s affiliation with an accounting and tax practice under common control, with the firm’s principal devoting a substantial portion of time (approximately 80%) to that accounting business; tax and accounting services are offered separately and clients are not required to use them. The principal also holds CPA and Personal Financial Specialist (PFS) credentials, which the firm notes it may coordinate with investment advice to address tax and planning considerations—an uncommon service mix for a solo independent adviser.
