Dedicated to Your Financial Future

We have been serving clients for over 25 years and have cumulative experience of over 50 years. During that time, we have worked with our clients thru various economic and market cycles and advised them as they experienced major changes in their lives. Throughout the years we have always led our clients by focusing on their individual goals, sound Financial Planning Principals and Investing based upon a Long-Term approach.

We are based in Alpharetta but serve clients throughout Metro Atlanta and across the country. Both Amanda and Stephan have been awarded the Five Star Wealth Manager in Atlanta from 2012-2020.*

We have always applied a Fiduciary Standard of care to our clients which puts their best interest above our own financial interest and recommendations are always based off their individual Financial Plan and unique risk tolerance. Furthermore, we offer a high level of personalized service by limiting the number of clients we serve by accepting new clients by referral only.

Comprehensive Planning

We focus on the entire picture of our client’s financial lives incorporating their company employee benefits, personal savings, investments, insurance, tax reduction strategies and estate planning. Our approach empowers our clients to understand the “cause and effect” of all aspects of their financial lives so they can make the best possible decisions for their future and financial success.

Accessibility

It is often said “the only constant in life is change”. As our client’s experience life changes such as promotions, job changes, marriages, welcoming children or grandchildren, loss of a significant other, etc., we are there to help them thru the changes. We discuss the impact and how their plan needs to adapt to those circumstances. In addition, we proactively reach out quarterly, semi-annually, or annually (depending on client preference) with update and strategy meetings to help them stay up to date on their financial situation and make changes as needed.

Fiduciary Standard of Care

We have always abided by the Fiduciary standard of care when dealing with clients. The U.S Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Regulation Best Interest in 2019 which is a “package of rulemakings and interpretations designed to enhance the quality and transparency of retail investors’ relationships with investment advisers and broker-dealers”.

We have always considered it the right way to treat clients and a good business strategy since the Fiduciary Standard compels financial advisors to place their clients’ needs above their own. By adhering to this benchmark, we are committed to helping our clients reach their financial goals.
