About our Firm
At Birchcreek Wealth Management, we serve families as a steward of their financial lives. We walk them through a process that relieves the stress of financial planning and investment management enabling them to focus on other priorities such as family, health, and simply enjoying life.
✔️ OBJECTIVE AND INDEPENDENT: A 100% fiduciary, fee-only Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) firm
✔️ APPROACHABLE AND COLLABORATIVE: Decades of experience working closely with multi-generational families
✔️ ACCOUNTABLE AND STRATEGIC: Implementing a well defined process to planning and portfolio management
Operating as a fiduciary legally and ethically requires an advisor to put your interests ahead of their own, and to act with prudence and loyalty. At Birchcreek, we will never accept a commission or kick-back from investment or insurance products. We only generate revenue through the predetermined advisory fee rate we agree upon in advance.
This leads to:
✔️ mitigated conflicts of interest
✔️ lower overall costs
✔️ broader availability of securities and funds
✔️ the highest level of transparency around what you are paying
✔️ a streamlined client experience through reduced paperwork and legal jargon
Birchcreek is directly regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) an independent federal government agency responsible for protecting investors. To maintain our stance as independent and objective, we advise clients on assets which reside with trusted, highly-vetted custodian partners. For the majority of our clients, we have chosen Fidelity as custodian. Fidelity has more than 70 years of financial management experience, $7.8 Trillion of assets under administration, industry leading technology, and a reputation for integrity.

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.
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.
