Partner Firms

As a fee only fiduciary we are not beholden to any one firm to provide services for our clients. Unlike the large investment firms we receive no economic benefit directly from our partners. We only partner with those that we believe offer the best in terms of quality of offering and service.

Custodial and Trust

Custodial and Trust

We partner with the firms that are best suited to each client. Examples include Fidelity, Schwab and Comerica.

Technology

Technology

Ease of access, quality of information and top tier cyber security drive our technology offerings.

Investments

Investments

No one firm has the best in every category. Agnostic to the firm, we partner with many of the largest and smallest firms to bring our clients the best in breed across all asset categories.

Research

Research

Insights from top tier economists and investment firms combine with over 39 years of industry experience.

A quiet history

Built across market cycles.

After more than three decades of advising individuals and families, I’ve learned that true wealth is about far more than financial success. It’s about creating freedom, living with purpose, caring for the people you love, and building a legacy that endures for generations.

– Jim Perkins
