"As someone who has a strong sense of independence, wealth management makes sense to me," says Paul. "You're asking clients to support their values with their own resources. I can't think of a more effective way of organizing a whole array of needs, from finances to family issues. We limit the number of clients we help because the ‘true' wealth management process is very involved and requires a major commitment of our own time and resources to be successful."
