History

The firm was founded in 2008 by Annette Clearwaters and a partner as a sister company to a Manhattan-based traditional wealth management firm. While her experience had been focused on high-net-worth individuals, Annette wished to create a practice flexible in its services, fees, and clientele. She found that many people had a strong desire for independent, sound advice, yet found the options available limited and unsatisfactory if they lacked significant wealth. After six years of steady growth, she became the sole owner in 2014 and moved her main office to Westchester County, keeping meeting space near Grand Central for the convenience of her city-based clients.
