About Edge Financial Advisors

Edge Financial Advisors, a Registered Investment Advisor, exists to give our clients confidence in their future.

It’s our life’s work to provide holistic financial planning and customized portfolio management solutions that fit your life situation and give you a plan to reach your dreams.

Wellbeing is more than just moment-to-moment happiness; it’s a state of health.

At Edge, we address the big picture of your financial health. We provide the kind of rigorous and thorough financial planning that accounts for the big swings in the stock market and your stage of life.

Our approach to investing your resources takes into account your specific needs – and plans for the future. We invest like you were family. And you are.

When you feel confident, you can relax. Exhale. Dream. Live in the moment. And experience the state of wellbeing.

Our Story

Responsive. Attentive. Personalized.

We have aspired to embody these qualities since we were founded in 2005.

Our goal then was to identify and implement the most innovative financial planning and investment strategies for a select group of high net worth clients. Today, our small size continues to allow us to be attentive to our clients in a way that larger RIAs can’t. This translates to clients feeling individually cared for, like a close friend or a family member. We know who you are and what you are about. And what matters most to you.

We’re more than just people taking care of your money. We are your family.

To make Wealthtender free for readers, we earn a nominal monthly fee from financial advisors and firms in exchange for marketing services (including being featured on this profile page), subject to terms of use. This compensation creates a natural conflict of interest when we favor their promotion over others. Wealthtender is not a client of these advisors or firms. Testimonials may not be representative of other clients’ experiences and do not guarantee future performance or success.
