Why TFC

Our Core Philosophy: Advising Beyond Investing

Investment management is a critical component of your overall financial picture, but at TFC we realize that it is just one piece of the puzzle. We take an "advising beyond investing" approach to customize our advice for your situation. Ultimately, we want you to be informed, feel empowered, and have a sense of control of your financial life.

We have a particular passion and expertise in helping clients in the following areas:

Women in Transition

Women experiencing major life changes such as the death of a spouse or a divorce may find themselves overwhelmed. We provide empathetic, comprehensive advice that helps pave the path forward during a difficult time. Our goal is to provide a feeling of empowerment and a sense of control.

Business Owners

Business owners are passionate, focused individuals with courage and a vision. You pour your heart and soul into your work while building a valuable enterprise. When the time comes to start thinking about an exit strategy, you may not know where to start. TFC will help drive the process of getting critical advice during both the pre-sale and post-sale periods, as well as helping the transition to life after your business.

Executives

Executives need help analyzing compensation packages, including stock and deferred compensation plans. We provide guidance to help you make decisions with confidence that you are making sound decisions and understanding the implications such as taxes and the total impact on your wealth.

Family Wealth

Family is very important to us at TFC and as we have learned in over four decades, very important to our clients as well. We take pride in the fact that we work with several multi-generational families, helping them preserve their hard-earned wealth.
