Life Guidance
We build enduring partnerships focused on your success.
Many of our clients have at one time or another felt overwhelmed by the process of financial planning. Some have wondered if they should base their planning on other meaningful issues as well, rather than only the conventional immediate gratification or/and long-range needs.
In response, a few experienced and concerned wealth advisors came together to create SlateStone Wealth. We recognized that the traditional financial advice model was broken and needed changing, so we reimagined the client experience.
Our life guidance work is modeled on a values-based strategy, we call the CleanSlate Approach.
Wealth Planning is not a one-and-done project. It is an ongoing process that requires adjustments throughout your lifetime and across generations, taking into account your values, goals, and legacy aspirations. As your wealth advisor our objective is to help you define your goals and manage to them in a way to simplify the complex.
