Why Use This Tool?

My practice focuses on the needs of successful individuals and small business owners. Many of my clients are concerned about how to best achieve the financial goals in life that are important to them, such as a quality retirement lifestyle, an education for their children or grandchildren, or how to creatively plan their estates or pass on the family business.  Our focus is on fee-based comprehensive financial advice to create strategies to help clients achieve their goals and dreams.  We also provide investment management, retirement rollover planning, retirement income strategies, wealth management and preservation, and estate planning strategies.  In 2011 and 2012, we were recognized by the National Association of Board Certified Advisors as one of the top 24 Wealth Managers in NC. 

I have been fortunate enough to assemble an excellent team to assist me in providing personal and proactive service to discriminating clients.  For about 20 years our specialty has been helping people transition from work to a successful retirement, and then to live in retirement so as to make the most of it.

Although our main office is in Raleigh, NC, we also maintain an office in Sanford, NC. Which serves that area including Pinehurst and Southern Pines.  We have many clients in Western, NC as well as Virginia and South Carolina and other Southeastern states.
