Comprehensive Financial Services Tailored to Your Unique Goals
Investment Management
Wealth is neither created overnight nor preserved by accident. We manage each of our client’s assets with their specific goals and situation in mind.
Independent Financial Planning
Independent advice from an on-staff CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional regarding your Retirement, Estate Planning, Tax Planning, Investments, College and Insurance Planning.
Risk Management
An essential part of financial planning, insurance can help replace income that would be lost upon your death or disability.
Our Philosophy
We believe that good financial advice comes from independent advice. We provide our clients with tangible strategies that are tailored to their unique needs. Our clients are free to choose any or all of our services, with no hidden requirements.
It’s Your Money, We Are Your Guides
As an independent registered investment advisor, we have the freedom and motivation to make recommendations that best fit you and your financial goals. We are owned by employees and their families rather than a bank, insurance company or an investment/ broker dealer. This simply means that our advice is free from outside influence that does not directly benefit you and your family.
Your success
is our
priority
We strive to provide the highest level of care for our clients. From the personal attention we give each client to our ongoing education as advisors and guides, client satisfaction is our paramount interest. We don’t see ourselves as just a wealth advisor, but instead see our client relationships as partnerships in which we work together to help you pursue your financial goals.
It’s Your Financial Confidence
We understand that it takes a lot of energy to balance everyday responsibilities. When you let us handle the financial aspects of your life, we strive to give you the kind of contentment that comes from journeying with an experienced, compassionate firm focused on doing the right thing for you. Let us guide your financial well-being, while you plan your next adventure.
Client Testimonials
Boone Wealth has been instrumental making retirement so much easier. They have been very good at answering any questions and providing answers that even a money novice like myself can understand. I highly recommend them if you value your own time and lack the expertise to manage your portfolio like I know Boone Wealth will.
I have been a client of Boone Wealth Advisors for 25 years and can confidently say they have transformed my financial life. From my first meeting with Michael Boone, he took the time to understand my goals, risk tolerance, and personal circumstances. Their recommendations are always clear, well-reasoned, and tailored to my priorities.
