The ICON Approach

Many firms might be able to help you handle a slice or two of your financial life, but how many of them really understand the whole pie?  How do you know if they are qualified to give you the advice and direction you really need?  Do they possess a detailed knowledge of the multiple financial disciplines required to help you succeed? How many of them understand that the fundamental purpose of their relationship with you is to protect and look out for your best interests? 

With over two decades of experience working with Northwest families, we have positioned ICON as one of the industry's leading independent wealth management and financial planning firms.  Our independent and locally owned firm has solidified numerous strategic alliances that give us large firm resources with a small firm feel.  This allows our private wealth management team to focus on delivering more personal attention to our clients and enables us to emerge as a leader in our field with respect to strategic, knowledge based consulting.  Through our analytical processes and comprehensive fee based advice, we offer our clients specific needs based implementation strategies to give them the tools they need to effectively align their financial resources.

As we embark on long term working relationships with our clients, it is our unbiased and expert knowledge that holds the key to our mutual success. Gaining and keeping wealth requires education, vision and direction, and it is extremely difficult to navigate the financial world if you don't have someone you can trust to teach you the rules.  Welcome to ICON, we are here to help.
