Why select us for your financial needs

We take time to really understand who you are, the things you value in life, and how you want the future to unfold. We help you develop your personalized financial plan and investment strategy, and, at a minimum, we will meet with you on an annual basis to ensure the financial plan and investment strategy are still appropriate for you. We address wealth management issues common to higher net worth families. These issues often require us to work closely with clients' attorneys and CPAs and to partner with internal experts from D.A. Davidson's Research, Insurance, Retirement, Trust, and Wealth Planning teams. We define our success by our clients' success.
