Why Choose Northstar
1
Trustworthy & Unbiased Advice
We get it; it’s hard to know who to trust. There are under-qualified professionals and a few bad actors out there using the title of “financial advisor.” Some get commissions to sell you financial products you don’t need. As a fee-only fiduciary, our advice is unbiased, with no hidden agendas. We are solely focused on your needs and financial well-being.
2
Transparent &
Client-Centered
We prioritize transparency and integrity in all our dealings. No commissions, no hidden fees. We offer personalized advice tailored to your unique situation, ensuring you always understand your financial options. We’re your expert teachers and guides, not sales people.
3
Holistic Approach
From financial planning and investment management to tax, we handle it all seamlessly, providing you with comprehensive solutions for all your financial needs. We happily coordinate with other experts in areas we don’t cover (like your lawyer) to serve you holistically.
We Believe In A Better Way
You have big goals; at Northstar, we have the roadmap to achieve them. We are legally required to advance your interests instead of our own and we are singularly focused on understanding and advising you on your unique situation, goals and needs. We are not chasing sales commissions, aren’t trying to sell you insurance, and aren’t beholden to a parent company. Let us help you navigate the complexities of your financial journey with trusted, personalized advice.
