We take a consultative approach to provide financial advising to privately held businesses in a variety of industries. We do this by taking the time to listen and truly understand a business and its many facets.

We then complete a comprehensive picture of your business finances to keep you moving toward your goals.

  • We provide a secure and personal MySJS online portal with 24/7 access for tracking goals, account balances, investment progress, financial statements, and tax documents.

  • We are a fee-based investment advisor. We monitor and disclose any fees to you.

    We charge a fee based on assets under management that is paid directly by you, our client. Your investment management fee is calculated as a percentage of the market value of all assets in your account(s) on the last day of trading of each calendar quarter. 

    For unique investment practices, special reporting requirements or extraordinary advisory services, special fees will be negotiated on a client-by-client basis. 

    Investments (such as mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs)) contained in your portfolio typically bear separate and additional expense ratios, disclosed by the prospectus and offering documents.

We strive to free you from the burden of worrying about your business’s finances so you can stay focused on doing what you love.
