Not All Financial Planners Are Created Equal.
Unlike other financial planners who may create complexity to validate high fees, we believe our role is to enhance your wealth—not ours.
Sound Financial Advice Considers Your Unique Circumstances.
Our approach revolves around your goals and how we can help you accomplish your vision for the future. So we get to know you through casual yet informative conversations, uncomplicated meetings, and personal care that goes beyond the dollars and cents of your finances.
We Listen
We want to understand your specific financial goals and the personal impact they have in your life.
We Research
Unlike large brokerages or robo-advisors, we never operate on autopilot. We consider many options as we build your unique financial plan.
We Recommend
We believe better guidance leads to better decisions. We help you navigate uncertainty to make the right choice for you.
We Support
We don’t just create financial plans, we build relationships and provide personalized care to every client.
Finance Is Personal. So Are We.
That’s why we care about things like tax impact, related costs, and “understandability” when helping you make financial decisions.
We believe every decision should weigh both short- and long-term benefits and consequences to ensure the best possible path to your goals. And whatever you decide, we will provide support each step of the way.
Pragmatic Advice
You have tangible goals, so we create practical plans to get you from point A to point B, and beyond. And we do so by considering multiple scenarios to find an optimal solution that can be implemented in a cost-effective manner.
Straightforward Answers
We try to talk in language you understand so you can make decisions with confidence. If you have a question, never hesitate to ask, and we promise to give you a no-nonsense answer.
Personal Impact
We understand that every financial decision has a personal impact—on your future, your family, and your legacy. We help you navigate complex emotional situations with rational, reasoned, and empathetic advice.
Specific Recommendations
We don’t just provide options or strategies, we help you choose the right next step for your financial future. And our recommendations will never be influenced by anything other than serving your best interests.
Transparent Financial Planning Is The Key To Building Trust.
We do not mask our fees in seemingly marginal percentages. We do not offer biased advice. And we lay out our qualifications and business practices in detail in our ADV. It’s about full disclosure from day one, so we can create an open and honest relationship that lasts.
We Make It Easy To Get Started.
At PDS, we keep our process simple so we can focus on building your wealth. Here’s how we’ll get started.
- We have a conversation, so we can get to know you and your goals—over coffee, on the phone, or in our office.
