About Us

Big Firm Strength.
Small Firm Attitude.

Our founder, Gregory Luken, realized early on that traditional measures of success—like revenue and awards—didn’t reflect the quality and integrity of the work we do for our clients. After an eye-opening moment, Greg transformed our approach, focusing solely on delivering honest, high-quality financial advice.

By eliminating unnecessary sales tactics and committing to transparent, client-focused service, we navigated the 2008 economic downturn with fewer clients but greater success. Today, we offer a comprehensive system to manage every financial detail, allowing our clients to focus on what truly matters to them.
