Our Integrated Approach

We’ve taken the time-tested structure of a traditional family office and made it more accessible through a fractional model—bringing investments, tax, and estate planning together in one coordinated experience. Unlike siloed professionals who operate independently, our integrated process is designed to help reduce the likelihood that information gets lost in translation—aiming to help you identify and manage potential oversights and gain confidence in having a more coordinated view of your financial life.

Where strategy meets an elevated approach to client service

At Ascend Integrated Wealth, we work with executives, entrepreneurs, and families using a forward-looking, integrated approach to wealth management. Our multidisciplinary team provides a boutique-style family office experience designed to help clients pursue strategies intended to protect, grow, and optimize what they’ve built — across investments, business interests, and other financial areas — while seeking to simplify complexity so clients can focus on what matters most.

Transparent

We believe clarity can help build confidence. That’s why we aim to operate with honesty and integrity, seeking to help clients understand where they stand and what to expect. We view trust as foundational in client relationships and work to earn and maintain it.

Diligent

We take a disciplined, research-informed approach to financial planning and investment management. We consider a range of factors that may affect a client’s financial situation in order to help identify strategies appropriate for their individual goals.

Proactive

Managing wealth isn’t just about growth — it’s about foresight. We incorporate risk-management considerations into our process, helping clients address challenges such as market volatility, inflation, longevity, and capital preservation needs with strategies intended to support long-term financial objectives.

Connected

Your financial journey is personal, and so is our approach. We seek to build long-term client relationships grounded in open communication and commitment, supporting clients and their families through market cycles, life transitions, and over time.
