About Us
Our Mission
We strive to provide impartial information and advice that promotes our clients’ financial security, the well-being of their loved ones, the satisfaction of their legal obligations, and the achievement of their philanthropic goals.
A Note From Our President & Founder
Two principles have defined our firm since I created it in 1992:
- Effective financial advice must consider all the issues confronting financially successful members of our society. Investment, tax, accounting, estate planning, insurance, business management, retirement and philanthropic considerations – among others – must be addressed together, not in isolation. We accept the challenge to furnish knowledgeable guidance and excellent service in whatever areas our clients require.
- Our loyalty lies only with our clients. We accept no compensation from anyone else. All charges to every client are clearly disclosed and fully transparent.
Today we serve clients in more than 25 states and as far away as Brazil from our offices in Scarsdale, New York, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Atlanta, Georgia… click here to continue reading our founder’s letter.
