Investment Management for Your Lifestyle
Over the years, financial situations change. We help families and individuals navigate all their financial decisions—saving for retirement, investing for the future, purchasing a new home or car, marriage, birth of a child, children’s education accounts, vacations, and so much more.
Independent Financial Advisors
Imagine if you had a one-stop resource to help you with your financial planning. the Trusted Financial PathTM process incorporates your tax accountant, estate planning attorney, trust officers, insurance agents, and investment advisors. Most people have to go to these services individually. Our process coordinates the effort of the different specialists to prevent duplication of effort and provide clarity across experts.

As fee-only financial advisors, our only source of compensation comes from our clients. This ensures that our clients’ interests align with ours.

A local firm headquartered in the Tri-Cities (Kennewick, WA) with a boutique size and feel, yet Institutional in reach and resources, makes us the perfect balance for your financial well-being.
World-Class:
We are consistently recognized as one of the top advisors in the nation by multiple sources including Medical Economics, Bloomberg Wealth Manager, Financial Times, and Financial Advisor Magazine.
