Our Approach to Wealth Management:We Hold Ourselves to a High Standard
Effective wealth advisory requires a comprehensive approach, helping you gain a more complete understanding of your financial landscape: assets, liabilities, income, expenses, risks, goals, and aspirations. This approach allows you to make decisions that align actions with long-term objectives as you pursue your financial and retirement goals.
With the unwavering belief that your success is our success, we are committed to carrying out our mission with integrity, discipline, independence, and objectivity. We strive to deliver a wealth management and financial planning experience that puts you first, with the benefits of comprehensive wealth advisory in a boutique environment that respects your individuality, provides a centralized platform for your financial life, saves time, and reduces stress. We look forward to beginning a conversation about your goals.

The Importance of Working
With a Fee-Only Fiduciary
Our status as a fee-only Registered Investment Advisory (RIA) firm is central to our client-first approach. Because we are independent and locally owned, and do not offer proprietary, commission-based investment products, we put our clients’ best interests first, always delivering objective guidance in a transparent, fee-based fiduciary capacity.

Our Process
A Financial Planning Process Built Around You
Our CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professionals apply industry standards of care so each financial plan is personalized to a client’s requirements and able to evolve with their busy life and potentially changing circumstances. In doing so, we follow a prudent, seven-step process to learn about your personal and financial circumstances, establish well-defined goals, present and implement financial planning recommendations, and monitor the progress of those recommendations.
“It’s one thing to draw a road map, and another to follow it.”
This comment speaks volumes about the importance of keeping your financial journey on the right path. At RBGWA, the process used by our CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professionals is complemented by our own five-step financial journey mapping:
1. Introductory Meeting
Our Introductory Meeting is an informal information session that allows us to get to know each other and gain an understanding of your financial picture and goals.
2. Strategy Meeting
A few weeks later, we conduct a Strategy Meeting to present our recommendations based on the information we’ve gathered. No commitment is required at this stage in the process.
3. Onboarding Meeting
After you’ve taken time to consider our recommendations, an Onboarding Meeting formally welcomes you to our firm.
4. Implementation Meeting
At an Implementation Meeting, recommendations for investment and retirement, tax and estate planning, and other areas of your financial life are put into effect.
5. Review Meetings
Review Meetings are scheduled at regular intervals to monitor progress, make adjustments as economic conditions, life circumstances, or tax policies change, and maintain our mutual focus on your wealth management goals.
