Comprehensive Services

As a financial planner in Davis County, Utah, financial planning and investment management are at the core of the value that we provide as a Utah financial advisor.

Financial planning: We will identify your major life goals and come up with a plan to leverage your assets to help achieve those milestones. Many of our clients are charitably-minded, and for them we use charitable giving and tax strategies to help them maximize their ability to give and make the impact they wish.

Investment management: We will manage your portfolio in accordance with your risk and return preferences, and help you navigate the ups and downs of the market. All of this is done with an eye towards minimizing the tax impact of any investment decisions.

Investments are managed using low-cost index funds. We did this to reduce overall fees to the client in the long term. We’d rather have you keep more of your return than pay high fees for the underlying investments we recommend.
