The better question is: Why shouldn’t you hire us?
If you are looking for a financial advisor to trade stocks and “beat the market”, we are not the team for you. Why? Because our philosophy is to focus on what we have the power to control. Predicting when the market will fluctuate or guessing the future of interest rates are not items anyone can control.
If you are looking for a team interested in helping you to lower your tax bill, investing smarter, and helping create a reliable income stream, we are the team for you.
We have a high standard of care for every relationship we maintain. Due to the demand for our services, we must limit new relationships for families not related to an existing client to those with $1 million or more in investable assets. That said, we are happy to have an introductory meeting with anyone that would like to connect and if we can’t help you we are happy to recommend someone that can.
Yes, many of our clients do not reside in Texas. We work with retirement savers all over the country and many with dual citizenship.
Our team is equipped to meet with our clients and prospective clients virtually through secure video conferencing to protect your privacy.
We are a fee-based financial planning office. Our fees depend on your needs and complexity and are a transparent line item on every statement. We include unique billing options like Roth Alternate Billing and Fee Tilting to make your fees as tax efficient as possible. When appropriate, we do use commission brokerage accounts.*

*In a fee-based account, clients pay a quarterly fee, based on the level of assets in the account, for the services of a financial advisor as part of an advisory relationship. In deciding to pay a fee rather than commissions, clients should understand that the fee may be higher than a commission alternative during periods of lower trading. Advisory fees are in addition to the internal expenses charged by mutual funds and other investment company securities. To the extent that clients intend to hold these securities, the internal expenses should be included when evaluating the costs of a fee-based account. Clients should periodically re-evaluate whether the use of an asset-based fee continues to be appropriate in servicing their needs. A list of additional considerations, as well as the fee schedule, is available in the firm’s Form ADV Part 2 as well as the client agreement.

The Forbes Top Wealth Advisors Best-In-State 2023 ranking, developed by SHOOK Research, is based on an algorithm of qualitative criteria, mostly gained through telephone and in-person due diligence interviews, and quantitative data. This ranking is based upon the period from 6/30/2021 to 6/30/2022 and was released on 4/4/2023. Those advisors that are considered have a minimum of seven years of experience, and the algorithm weights factors like revenue trends, assets under management, compliance records, industry experience and those that encompass best practices in their practices and approach to working with clients. Portfolio performance is not a criteria due to varying client objectives and lack of audited data. Out of approximately 39,007 nominations, 7,321 advisors received the award. This ranking is not based in anyway on the individual’s abilities in regards to providing investment advice or management. This ranking is not indicative of an advisor’s future performance, is not an endorsement, and may not be representative of individual clients’ experience. Neither Raymond James nor any of its Financial Advisors or RIA firms pay a fee in exchange for this award/rating. Raymond James is not affiliated with Forbes or Shook Research, LLC.
