About GHP Investment Advisors, Inc.
Your life and your investments are intertwined. Yet all too often, wealth management firms fail to look at the whole picture. GHP Investment Advisors (GHPIA) is comprehensive. To effectively manage your investment portfolio, we communicate and collaborate with you and your accountant, attorney or other expert professionals about your taxes, estate plans, insurance policies, business, and other important financial issues.GHPIA is a fiduciary. We are legally obligated to act in your interests and objectively identify the proper investments to suit your needs. We do not receive any commissions for selling financial products or investments, nor do we sell insurance.
About Us
Getting to know you is critical to us. In fact, it’s everything to us. It’s how we connect. But more importantly, it’s how we determine your wealth management plan. Our team approach allows us to service all your financial needs, taking the work off your plate and offering expertise, integrity, and objectivity you can trust.
Part of our philosophy is providing education to our clients. We want you to understand the landscape you’re in and how the markets and your portfolio react based on any number of factors.
Transparency is our greatest virtue. If we’re thinking it, you will know about it. The more you understand the what and why of investing with GHPIA, the more peace of mind you’ll have.
We Are A Fiduciary
As a Registered Investment Advisor, we must adhere to a fiduciary standard of care that requires us to act in your interest. Many people are surprised to learn that not all advisors – such as traditional brokers – are held to a fiduciary standard.
We are a “fee-only” advisor. This means we only receive compensation from our clients (see our fee schedule here). We do not receive commissions or any other form of compensation for selling financial products, investments, or insurance.

We Want Your Voice to be Heard
Wealthtender exists to help people discover trusted and authentic financial professionals and educators who may be a good fit based on their unique needs and circumstances.
Your honest reviews help people decide which financial professionals and educators may be best suited to their individual needs.
The majority of people trust reviews as much as personal recommendations, so what you write in your review should reflect your own opinion and experience.
Tips for Writing a Helpful Review
Be descriptive. Instead of just saying what you like or dislike, share why. What have you enjoyed most or least about your experience with the provider? Have they helped you overcome a difficult financial challenge or strengthened your knowledge about particular money matters? The more details, the better!
Be honest. Your rating and review should reflect your actual experience.
Stay relevant. Ensure your review is helpful to others by avoiding off-topic discussions or personal opinions not relevant to your direct experience.
Make your review easy to read. Reviews should be readable to others. Use proper grammar, avoid excessive capitalization or punctuation, and be sure to check your spelling.
Be yourself. Don’t post as, or pretend to be, someone else, and do not say you’re associated with a person or organization with which you are not.
Be nice. Don’t write abusive, hateful, threatening, or harassing content. Avoid personal threats, hate speech, obscenities, or inflammatory language.
Respect the privacy of others. Don’t post information that can be used to identify another individual or compromise their privacy.
