Financial Perspectives is an independent, fee-only financial advisory firm with two offices conveniently located in the San Francisco bay area. We provide unbiased advice for every aspect of your financial life. Recognizing that everyone is unique in their needs and desires, we take the time to get to fully know and understand what is important to our clients. Above all, we pride ourselves on maintaining long-term, lasting relationships built on integrity and fostered by trust.

As a provider of broad-based financial advice, our primary focus remains on retirement and investment management. Through our specialization in these areas, we bring our expertise to bear on helping clients achieve the core wealth objectives of asset accumulation, capital preservation, income generation and the worry-free transference of wealth.

With the frantic pace of today’s lifestyle, people may find they have neither the time, inclination nor knowledge base to best handle the financial aspect of their lives. Unfortunately neglect can be detrimental to the success of obtaining your objectives. Ultimately we provide clients with the freedom to concentrate on the more important things in life – like family, personal success and the pursuit of their own passion – while we spearhead the endeavor of meeting their financial goals.

The recent market collapse has left investors facing an uphill battle. Losses in their accounts have left them questioning whether or not they can meet their financial goals. As a result, people are looking to protect the assets they have left and limit future losses. We have entered an unprecedented time in history that is comparable to nothing we have experienced in the past. To survive and thrive, one will need to be open to new ideas that are forward thinking and will address what lies ahead. What has worked in the past will not necessarily be successful going forward. As such, we offer unique perspectives and strategies to help you guide you through this uncharted territory.... See More
