403(b) Management for Cornell Employees
As a Cornell employee, you’re benefits include an employer funded 403(b) account. While that’s a fantastic benefit, how do you know the allocation inside your fund matches your timetable, risk tolerance, and values? Our 403(b) management program allows our advisors to consistently monitor your 403(b) as it grows to be one of your largest assets.
FINANCIAL PLANNING
We take the time to get to know you. Your lifestyle, family and business aspirations become the foundation of your financial plan, which guides you step-by-step toward achieving your goals. We see our role as a facilitator to help you grow, preserve and position your wealth in a way that is aligned with your core values and heartfelt goals. And yes, we’re fiduciaries.
INSURANCE &
RISK MANAGEMENT
The foundation of financial security is, for most, a solid insurance program. Our in-house expertise in life, disability and long-term care insurance provides needed protection so you can rest easy. Think your health or lifestyle makes insurance impossible? You’d be amazed at who qualifies for insurance these days. And we’re independent, so we have the freedom to find the best product for you.

We work with our clients throughout the year to identify effective tax planning strategies for retirement, charitable giving, education funding, real estate transactions, and more. We continuously strive to provide our clients with the highest level of service.
Wealth Management
Rest easy knowing your investments reflect your time horizon, risk tolerance and values. We’ll determine the mix of features, benefits and costs that align with your portfolio objectives, and make necessary changes as you move through various life stages. Your success is our success, and we can’t wait to help you achieve your goals.
