We Start with You
Our approach is documented. Our experience is decades-long. But it’s our interactions with you to understand your deeply held values (and your concerns or expectations, too) that set Highland apart.
Highland is compensated for our counsel and proprietary methods applied on our clients’ behalf, and not by commissions or any revenue-sharing relationship with other providers. For that reason, our opinions are independent and impartial. Always.
Our only interest is you.

Highland’s Know-How Begins with Knowing Why
And what… and who
Why…
are you exploring family wealth management options? Why is now the time to get clarity for your financial future?
What…
does wealth mean to you? What are your core values? What’s your vision for the future?
Who…
matters most to you? Who are you planning for? Who will steward your legacy—including your financial, relational and social assets?
Our know-how allows us to ask the right questions to discover meaningful answers about your family’s wealth and how to enhance, preserve, and transfer it wisely. Along the way, we frequently serve our clients by facilitating family meetings and coaching families through the process of wealth management. But that depends on you and your story.
“Happy is the person who knows what to remember from the past, what to enjoy in the present, and what to plan for in the future.”
What Does Highland’s Independence Mean for You?
Highland is 100 percent employee-owned, with no financial ties or revenue-sharing relationship to any other organization. We do not receive, nor do we accept, any commissions or revenue from any financial service provider—of any kind. What that means to you is that we offer advice that is in your best interest and in your family’s best interest. We are allied with you only.

A Simple Conversation
Gaining clarity is the first step in a process which can begin with a simple conversation over a cup of coffee. Let’s talk about the why, what, and who so that our know-how can help you grow both your resources and your relationships, to create wealth that lasts.
