Our Philosophy
Our Process
We create strategies that are tailored to your needs and goals.
Our History
Years of experience have prepared us to guide you through your life transitions.
Research, Ask Questions
We encourage everyone to grow in their knowledge of financial strategies. We can point you in the right direction if you need help with where to start.
This gives you a great foundation to begin asking more nuanced questions in any financial conversation.
Education is the first priority. We're here to help you understand your options and feel comfortable with your finances. Then it's a "One-Size-Fits-One" approach to your situation, instead of "One-Size-Fits-All".
We encourage and are excited when people read books, watch videos, take courses, and even learn what your friends and co-workers are doing with their savings. We are glad you have a desire to seek information and knowledge. Most people struggle to understand financial terminology, concepts, how money grows and how to protect it.
You might be wondering "how much does a personal financial advisor cost" and other similar questions. These are great questions that we address during our process. We have a two complimentary meeting process that allows us to get to know each other before any commitments or obligations. It's a part of our commitment to relationships, not transactions.
There is no financial education specific to your exact situation and goals. There are books and YouTube videos, but those are a “One-Size-Fits-All” approach - and even when you do learn, you have to know how to apply what you have learned.
At Shepherd Financial Advisors, we are in the “One-Size-Fits-One” business. We tailor our advice to you, not a category of investor.
There is value in reading books, watching videos, attending seminars, asking friends, and all the information available on the internet. The value is learning the questions to ask us, learn both the “Pros” and the “Cons” as they apply to your situation.
We believe your finances and goals are important enough to at least make them a hobby.
The Power of Independence
Here are some of the many reasons we chose to be independent. Our resources and options help give us the best opportunity to serve our clients.
