We believe that our approach to wealth management should be as hard-working as our clients and reflect their zest for life, passions, and purposes.
Do what you love... outsource the rest.
A financial plan sets the course; ongoing guidance and portfolio management keep you headed in the right direction. We believe that life should be enjoyed without the burden of financial uncertainty, and that our clients’ time is better spent pursuing their passions and purposes. As business owners, we’ve come to believe in the adage of “do what you love and outsource the rest.” We believe in being our clients’ outsourced Chief Investment Officers.
From a numerical perspective, working with a comprehensive financial advisor (not just someone who invests your money) can add the equivalent of 3% additional return per year¹ and help investors achieve a 22.6% higher level of spending in retirement.²

Tenderfoot Hill and the DIY Financial Plan
