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.
We’ve leveraged innovative technology solutions to provide a highly personalized engagement with our clients and to drive measurable improvements across all aspects of their wealth plans.
