How We Are Different
Most Financial Advisor's websites say something like this:
"We specialize in retirees, business owners, executives, and individuals!" (Really, you specialize in everyone?)
What that basically means is they "specialize" in anyone who can write a check that meets their minimum investment amount.
We are different. Everything we do is around getting normal, middle class Americans to and through a successful retirement.
We Are Retirement Focused
We are focused on the needs of retirees and are able to help with topics such as social security claiming strategies, charitable giving, pension maximization, and tax efficient IRA and Stock Option distributions. Read more about our process and pricing here.
We Do Tax Planning
Many advisors can’t or won’t do tax planning. We realize that for retirement planning every transaction has a tax implication. We feel that to truly act in our clients’ best interest, it is imperative to have a forward looking tax plan.
For many clients, we can also coordinate preparation of their tax returns through our affiliated company, Brandenburg Tax Services to create a one-stop shop for tax and investment planning.
We Are Virtual
There are a lot of great firms out there who want you to drive across town and wait in the lobby of a high rise or a strip mall for a starch-shirted advisor in a suit to come out and meet with you. There's nothing wrong with those firms, but we aren't one of them. We work virtually so that you get top-notch planning from your couch, a cruise ship, or wherever you'd rather be than sitting in traffic. And we don't wear ties.

We Are Fiduciaries
We will put our clients’ interests ahead of our own.
We will work to minimize conflicts of interest, and when they cannot be entirely eliminated we will disclose them so that you can make an informed decision regarding our recommended strategies. Like Forrest said: “That’s all I’ve got to say about that.”

Fiduciary Duty
Registered investment advisers owe a fiduciary duty to their clients. As such, an investment adviser stands in a special relationship of trust and confidence with its clients. As a fiduciary, an investment adviser has an affirmative duty of care, loyalty, honesty, and good faith to act in the best interests of its clients. The parameters of an investment adviser’s fiduciary duty depend on the scope of the advisory relationship and generally include the following duties:
- to place the interests of clients first at all times;
- to have a reasonable basis for its investment advice;
- to seek best execution for client securities transactions where the adviser directs such transactions;
- to make investment decisions consistent with any mutually agreed upon client objectives, strategies, policies, guidelines, and restrictions;
- to treat clients fairly;
- to make full and fair disclosure to clients of all material facts about the advisory relationship, particularly regarding conflicts of interest; and
- to respect the confidentiality of client information. This fiduciary duty differs from the suitability obligations that govern brokers.
