We're independent, fee-only, and committed to helping you reach your financial goals.
We're two fighter pilots turned entrepreneurial financial advisors.
Our experiences with the shortcomings of the financial services industry motivated us to turn our education and passion into a financial consulting firm that would put clients first, help remove financial uncertainty from their lives, and allow them to pursue their purpose in life. We’ve seen how financial plans become meaningless when they only focus on numbers outside the context of your life — a life that’s probably dynamic and constantly changing. We’ve also seen how entrepreneurs and business executives are underserved when it comes to crafting a smart financial plan for business startups and unique compensation arrangements. And we’ve certainly seen how expensive investment fees eat away at portfolio returns, inhibiting business growth. So we decided to change that.
Our values:
- Integrity and Transparency – Integrity first. Doing what’s right remains central to who we are and how we work at Targeted Wealth Solutions. As financial advisors, we believe in candor and honest communication in all things wealth management and financial planning.
- Uncompromising Service – Service is in our DNA. We believe that clients deserve our utmost care and attention to help develop financial plans and solutions to their unique situations.
- The Fiduciary Standard – Suitability isn’t enough. We are bound to a higher standard of excellence that requires us to put our clients’ interests above our own.
- Disciplined Research – Managing risk demands rigorous analysis across the portfolio. We focus on removing the noise from financial investment strategies to ensure that client objectives are being met.
- Focused Execution – We work for our clients. Our wealth management methods are deliberate and designed to implement solutions in a coherent manner to meet our clients’ unique needs.
- Giving Back – Our duty of service extends beyond our financial consulting firm. We give our time and talents to help those around us in their journey toward entrepreneurial success.
