About Me

I'm Ian, I help discerning investors, families and business owners take back as much of their time as possible, while making sure they don't miss out of investment opportunities, and tax strategies to keep more of their wealth and pay as little as possible to Uncle Sam.


The way we'll work together is a bit different than what most people are used to, or expect from a financial advisor. Here's how we create a team that works for YOU:

We act as a Personal CFO (Chief Financial Officer) for you or your family / business. We help you build and manage your "Wealth Team" - the group of specialists that guides through every financial area: Tax preparation, Investments, Real Estate, Banking, Estate Planning, Corporate Law, Insurance, etc.

Most people we talk to have accumulated various professionals in these disciplines over time, and each one exists in their own "silo", and rarely do they communicate, let alone work together to make sure you're not missing out on any strategies or opportunities.

We come and help you make sure:
1. Those specialists are all "A" players - they are experts in their field, and they're proactive.
2. They work together and communicate.

We take over as the main point of contact for your "Wealth Team" so that you don't have to waste time having the same conversation with each one of them to try to get anything done.

We're simply adding a buffer for you - so that you can spend your time on what you enjoy most. When you get a "Pitch" of some product, investment strategy or idea, you simply toss it to us, we'll evaluate it with your team, and then present it to you if we think it makes sense. If it doesn't - you don't have to worry about it again.

Time is your most precious resource, we help you keep it, and spend it well.

What to expect in the first meeting

15- 30 Minute initial consultation to determine if we should begin the planning process. I don't give advice during this time, but I will likely share some ideas free of charge. We'll talk about the work you've done so far, what you think you're missing and what you'd like to accomplish with a financial planner.

About our Firm

We're not your typical wealth management firm. We get paid for our expertise, ideas and advice, so we don't have to sell you something you don't need so we can give you a "free plan".

We do all of the investments, insurance solutions and tax strategies - we just don't start with a product and see if we can figure out how to sell it to you.

We create comprehensive financial plans for our clients, tailored specifically to them. It's not a cut and paste type thing where we forget to change the name (I've seen that happen).

If we can't find more savings (2x) than we'd charge, we'll give you the plan free.

Having a financial advisor I trust and know cares about me and in turn, my money is not something I thought was possible. I just followed what other people had done with these big companies. It all felt very transactional and impersonal. When I started working with Ian, that completely changed. He is an honest, caring advisor that goes above and beyond. Ian is someone I trust and we have a collaborative relationship even though he manages my portfolio. As a therapist, this is important to me. He is brilliant in the ways I am not while still educating me! Just a stellar advisor.

Confident in the direction he advised my wife and I to help our parents in their retirement years. He was also extremely good at walking us through things in an easy to understand way.

Focused on what REALLY matters

Ian is hands down the best investment I’ve made lately - both personally and professionally. I knew I needed help when I first called him, but didn’t expect him to ask about what REALLY matters to me. The guy is brilliant both financially and interpersonally - he’s a great listener, keeps things relevant, has clever ideas, and knows me well enough to make the right decisions when it matters. I joke that meeting with him is better than therapy!

He's my financial dude and so much more...

I would mislead you if I said I work with Ian Weiner, CFP. I'm retired. I don't work. Ian does. More importantly, Ian only knows how to work one way...being connected. He's connected to his clients. Yes, he manages my financial portfolio; but he KNOWS me. He knows everything going on with me, he knows my family. Heck, he knows my friends. Ian is my financial dude, and being connected to me gives him a clarified plan of how to handle my financial world. You want Ian to understand your money, give him the opportunity to understand you. You won't be sorry.
