Our Services

With honesty, dependability, and client-focused service at the forefront, we leverage our capabilities to serve a variety of individuals, families, and business owners. While we serve accounts of different sizes, we believe clients need at least $50,000 in investable assets for us to better assist them.

Backed by Stifel’s array of resources and highly skilled professionals, we help our clients navigate what is going on in the markets and how or if it applies to their investments. We depend on the client’s life stage to evaluate their financial picture and provide our services as appropriate to their needs. For clients preparing for retirement and working to grow their nest egg, we usually conduct annual review meetings. Clients who are living in retirement are more unique and may receive more frequent review discussions. We allow our clients to voice their ideal communication plan in the beginning to make sure we are a good fit for each other.
