About
Rob Harris had a vision for a Client-Driven, comprehensive wealth management firm of unmatched technical expertise.
At the time, the prevalent business model within the industry was that of a single-disciplined, narrowly-focused expertise, supplemented by the outsourcing of complementary services. Rob sought to partner with like-minded professionals from within the wealth management space who also believed clients are best served by the integration of all aspects of planning within a single shop. The visions was the creation of a fully-integrated, multi-disciplinary approach to managing the financial affairs of affluent individuals and families, practiced within the context of a single service environment was groundbreaking. Since its founding, the firm has established and solidified its niche.
