About Foundation Wealth & Tax Advisors
Foundation Wealth & Tax Advisors specializes in helping individuals, families, and small businesses develop sound financial strategies. We offer personalized, hands-on service. We educate our clients about financial concepts and products, and take the mystery out of investing, insurance, estate conservation, and preserving wealth.
Our Mission
Where most advisors and investment managers say "talk to your accountant" or give poor tax advice, we are founded by CPA's and believe great financial planning can not be done without top quality tax advice.
We work on a fee-only basis to avoid conflicts of interest, we never receive compensation for selling products to clients.
As sworn fiduciaries, we provide advice that is in the best interest of our clients and not just "suitable." We hold ourselves to that fiduciary standard at all times.
Our mission is to get to know and understand your needs, wants, and long-term goals. We want to help you develop, implement, and monitor a strategy that’s designed to address your individual situation.
Our Vision
Our extensive tax expertise enables us to provide advanced tax planning as an integral part of comprehensive financial planning in a way that results in better solutions for you. This sets us apart from the majority of advisors who aren't able to effectively integrate tax and estate planning.
We understand the challenges families face today. From managing debt to saving for college to retirement, these personal finance challenges can be overwhelming. Our commitment is to utilize all of our resources to help you pursue your goals. We believe in thinking “out of the box” and we are not afraid to challenge conventional wisdom in our approach to investing and preserving wealth. All of our energy, commitment, and efforts are focused on you, the client, and your satisfaction.
