On the journey...

together.

Our team is committed to your success at every stage. We’ve shown you the “how”; now, meet the “who.”

Freedom starts with

letting go.

There’s no one more committed to your success than our team of guides that support your journey every step of the way. We’ve shown you the “how,” now, here’s the “who.”

Under Bill Sowell’s leadership, our team has empowered financial advisors with true independence since 2001. Bill began his career with a customer-first philosophy in 1990 and was an early pioneer in the fee-based fiduciary space, transitioning to that model in 1995.

Just like true north, our guiding principles never change.

Strength comes from the core, and our values are connected to everything we do. We are committed to building lasting relationships that start with transparency and are sustained with dedicated support.

Core Value #1:

We’re a family. Have each other’s back. Critique in private.

Core Value #2:

Attitude is everything. Don’t be a jerk and don’t suck. Be enthusiastic. Positivity goes both ways.

Core Value #3:

Care about what you do. Passion, desire & drive for excellence. No half-hearted efforts.

Core Value #4:

Do what you say. First time. Every time. Own your commitments.

Core Value #5:

Go above and beyond. Teamwork always wins. Help each other out even when it’s not your job or after 5pm.

Our Team

A company is only as strong as its employees, united by collaboration, a commitment to excellence, and a focus on innovative, efficient ways to serve our clients better.

Greg Lai, CFA, says investors may want to pay more attention to what’s happening in the middle.
