Find your optimal investment strategy
Self-Employed Owner
Are you a self-employed owner with a few employees? Or maybe you are self-employed and it’s just you and your spouse? Options like a SEP IRA and an individual 401k are available depending on the size of your company and offer low fees and minimal maintenance. Our Advisors can help you find and optimize a plan with minimal implementation costs that includes diverse investment options to fit your and your employee’s needs.
Small Public or Private Company
Companies with 100 employees or more have the option to choose between the widely known 401k to the lesser known plans like Simple IRAs and Investment Only benefits. While they vary in fees, contributions and other variables, selecting the right plan for your business can help not only in retaining your current talent but also in attracting the strong talent you need to take your small business to the next level.
The common thread in all of these scenarios is our meaningful relationships that come first and for that reason we have devised a unique cost-structure that allows for unbiased decision-making and an open line of communication so you don’t have to be concerned about the cost of advice.

Meet one of Our Partners, Dan Brady
I was a finance and economics major in college because I’ve always been drawn to solving complex problems. It has been a long-time dream of mine to be an independent business owner working directly with clients, so pursuing personal financial planning was a natural fit. I continued my education by pursuing the CFP® designation and had a lot of conversations with people in different pockets of the industry. Eventually, I met Rick and, as they say, the rest is history.”
