Their vision was to create a personalized financial planning approach for families, foundations, institutions, and businesses with unique financial and wealth management circumstances. Additionally, they sought out to create a turnkey platform allowing likeminded advisors to pursue independence without the burden of running the day-to-day operations, compliance and oversight associated with owning and operating an independent RIA.
