AboutDennis

Why Us? For over 25 years, we’ve been here in Northern Michigan invested in our families, our clients and our community. Given that amount of time, here is what we’ve concluded:

We value relationships. Where did you go for vacation? How are the grandkids? Did you recover from surgery These are the details we care about and hope to hear about. So whether you live here two months or twelve, we’d love to meet you in person. Want us to meet the kids? We think that’s a very smart idea.

We value time. You can have all of your accounts managed in one place and have access to them at any time online. We don’t expect you to make retirement planning your second career, but we do expect you to be connected to what is happening with your investments and we’ll guide you to a better understanding of them.

Design your financial future with us

What determines financial success? According to The Carnegie Institute of Technology, “85% of your financial success is due to your personality and ability to communicate, negotiate and lead. Shockingly, only 15% is due to technical knowledge.” And yet, why do we feel paralyzed by the 15% we don’t know? Our combined experience gives you decades of knowledge to lean on when making important decisions for your retirement. Not only do we have the knowledge, we care about you and the other 85% of your financial success.
