A Team of Independent Experts

Our clients often receive the added value of our expert network team. 

Our team of experts, including CPAs, estate-planning attorneys, and insurance professionals may review your situation and make suggestions (1). The plan is a comprehensive evaluation of your financial life. As part of our regular progress meetings, we will discuss your overall plans. We will schedule other meetings, as many as necessary, to integrate all aspects of your financial life. This puts you in the driver’s seat.

Each financial planner at A&I Financial Services assembles their own group of outside experts. We believe the right way to provide advice is to remain independent. Some of this is based on our own experience. Many of our very-long-time clients may remember we used to prepare tax returns. We decided to spin off the tax business for many reasons. First, a second set of eyes is beneficial for all of us, clients and investment advisors alike. Second, we can stay focused on delivering our core services and reduce inherent conflicts of interest. 

Clear Communication between Your Experts

We deliver individual financial planning and professional investment advice. We work well with tax experts because of our two-decades-long experience providing that service! We also work well with attorneys, insurance experts and other because we speak their language.

Finally, we make it easy to communicate with your expert team, if you already have a team in place.

One Team Dedicated to You

Our team is built to anticipate your needs. Each client receives a dedicated service team, including:

  • Wealth Management
  • Investment Policy Committee
  • Client Care Specialist

(1) It is incumbent on the client to advise us about financial planning issues, and whether they want to sit down with us and address financial planning matters. If the client does not take advantage of this offer, then there is no change in our fee schedule.
