Personalized Service

We don’t work with hundreds of clients. We choose to work with a select community of clients who are well-suited to our way of doing business so we can give them the personal attention they deserve.

You can count on us to reach out at least quarterly, and more often at your request. It’s the best way we know to earn your trust and move your financial life in the direction you seek.

A Team Approach

As firm believers in the value of specialization, we support a team approach to attaining financial health and wealth-building. We create an advisory team to support you, which can consist of accountants, attorneys, bankers, insurance agents, and other disciplines. This team can include your preferred professionals or our strategic partners.

LPL Financial and California Financial Partners, Inc. do not provide tax or legal advice

No Hidden Fees

Our investment recommendations are based upon strategy, not commissions. We earn no commissions in our fee-based platform and we pay for all trades! We don’t like hidden costs any more than you do. That’s why our fee schedule is disclosed up front. We pay the costs of buying and selling investments through our advisory platform, not by you.

Our Locations

We are headquartered in Glendale, CA. We serve clients nationwide, from San Francisco to New York and Florida.
