Our Mission:

Through meaningful relationships, across generations, we help clients attain their highest confidence, enabling them to focus on what is most important to them, and thus make the biggest impact possible on their families and communities.

Our Values:

• Impact: Our clients are very clear about our promises and feel like we deliver on them. They feel like they have paid well for our services and receive great value in return. We help clients make better financial decisions and achieve their goals, for themselves and the multiple generations in their family. Our end goal: to provide better advice and more confidence to clients than they can get anywhere else. This is Impact.
• Teamwork: Many in our industry try to be all things to all people- generalists that often give mediocre advice in a lot of areas, vs amazing advice in a few areas. We believe the best way to make the biggest positive impact in our clients’ lives, and in turn our lives, is to bring a team of specialists together on their behalf. A team of experts that spends the bulk of their time getting better and smarter in their area of focus.
• Abundance Mindset: We have a growth mindset versus a fixed mindset and appreciate the opportunities that are available to us- to learn, to make progress, to make a difference in our clients’ lives and in our communities, to grow in our careers, and to provide for our families.
• Leadership: Humans crave leadership. And that is what we are: we are all leaders to both our clients and to our team members. We lead clients through the most important stages of their lives. Clients consistently tell us that our leadership has saved or made them hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars and even more importantly, given them more confidence than they’ve ever had. Our highest purpose is to help people be the best they can be and make the most meaningful impact possible on their family and community.

Our team constantly looks for ways to improve, in everything we do: not just in planning strategies, but in communication, in trust, in transparency, in operations, in learning, and in leadership. If it’s good, make it great. If it’s great, make it even better. We realize that most of life’s biggest results don’t come from get-rich-quick schemes or the financial equivalent of fad diets; they come from the

Money is the #1 cause of stress in America, and given the weight of what we are managing for our clients, we feel it critical that we get outside of the office to build relationships with each other- to socialize, set goals, map out strategies, grow together, and most importantly to HAVE FUN!

Why Heritage Wealth Advisors?

More Americans than ever are tired of supporting the Bail-Out Banks. We are Locally owned and have NEVER taken outside investment- thus, unlike almost every other major financial institution, the advice we give our clients can be truly objective, vs self-serving to the executives, shareholders, and commission-driven salespeople. Through comprehensive financial planning and wealth management we give our clients access to a team of specialists in areas such as estate and tax planning, investments, real estate, trusts, and charitable giving. Our advice comes from a place of:

• Understanding: Every conversation and strategy is rooted in a deep and thorough understanding of our clients’ needs.
• Independence: Our firm is 100% independent from the big bail-out banks, so the advice we give to clients is guided by the Fiduciary Standard and based on their family’s financial plan; not based on what makes the most sense for the shareholders of a big bank or brokerage house.
• Customization: Many Americans have become tired of feeling like their advisor has a shopping cart of products and they are simply being fit into the cookie cutter. We come to the table with no preconceived notions of what families need; we start by discussing their priorities, objectives, and plans and together, we work to develop a strategy designed to align their finances with their family priorities.

Why Ameriprise?

• Financial Planning first: Ameriprise does more Financial Planning than any other company in the world and that is at the heart of our Mission; Financial Planning is how we help the families we serve make the biggest impact possible.
• Trust: In an industry suffering from the lowest trust levels of all time, Ameriprise bucks that trend, garnering the highest trust levels, customer service, and customer loyalty of any firm in the industry.
