Our Core Values
The principles that guide everything we do
Honesty First
We tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. Sometimes that means admitting we don't have all the answers. Your trust is everything to us.
Your Money Matters
This isn't abstract wealth to us. It's your retirement. Your security. Your peace of mind. We treat every dollar like it's our own.
Keep It Simple
Complexity hides problems. We explain things clearly because you deserve to understand exactly what's happening with your pension.
Long-Term Thinking
We're not chasing quick wins or trendy investments. We build strategies that work 20, 30, even 40 years from now.
Our Story
Started back in 2011 by Margaret Chen and Derek Walsh. They were frustrated watching people get burned by impersonal pension advisors. So they decided to do something different. What began as two people in a small office has grown to a 16-person team managing over $340 million in pension assets. But here's the thing — we've kept that same neighborly approach. We still take time to understand what matters to each client. Still answer our own phones (mostly). Still believe that transparency beats complexity every single time.
Our Approach
Our approach combines proven methods with modern tools. We start with discovery, align on goals, plan clearly, and execute with quality checks at every step.
