Our services, approach, and culture
Tobias Financial Advisors, established in 1980, provides team-oriented, fee-only, comprehensive, and personalized wealth management services to a select group of clients. We are a growing firm that maintains a close relationship with our clients due to our strong belief and commitment to providing the time necessary to truly help our clients accomplish their goals. Our vision is to inspire, educate and prepare our clients so they can live the lives they want. We accomplish this by listening to and understanding the needs of each client, followed by fulfilling those needs with uniquely devised strategies, plans, and solutions. We are strong advocates that the “assembly line”, commission based, investment approach lacks the tailored strategies needed to accomplish every client’s unique goals.
