Advisors
All of our Advisors are owners of the firm and are invested in your long term success. We work as a team behind the scenes, so even as each of us is uniquely partnered with specific clients, each of our areas of expertise is available in service of each client's particular situation.
Kate and Ted both have the Certified Financial Planner™ certification (CFP®), and offer support on big picture and specialized financial planning issues for all of our clients. In addition, they work in concert with many clients' CPAs and estate planning attorneys on tax and estate issues, and other professionals as applicable. They stay informed on society-wide financial planning issues and innovations, for the benefit of all North Berkeley clients.
Sue also offers clients support on big picture financial planning issues. With her deep investment background, she leads the investment research and portfolio management function across the whole firm. She communicates regularly with the outside managers of the mutual funds where we place most client assets, and monitors manager selection and the investment environment.
Our Advisors meet regularly as a practice management team and each of us serves on the firm's Investment Committee.
