Independent Fiduciary
We believe that compliance with the fiduciary rule of “always acting in the client’s best interests” cannot be fully adopted if there are agreements with proprietary product selling companies and participation in contests to win prizes and awards. Other than the low-cost institutional mutual funds we use, we have no ties or obligations to any company that sells proprietary products.
Tax Expertise
Investment decisions along with planning strategies share a common concern – taxes. Most of all financially-related decisions will involve some form of tax implications. The type of account you choose (i.e., Traditional v. Roth IRA), or the form of retirement distributions, taxable v. non-taxable, alternative minimum tax, etc. The company owner, Anthony B. Carr, CPA, CFP® has been an active Certified Public Accountant for the past 35 years. Although the firm does not prepare tax returns, the tax expertise can add significant value to the investing and planning functions performed for you.
