“Nick really understands our comprehensive, client-centered approach in everything that we do, and his reputation precedes him. Together, our vision is to offer boutique investment and planning advice in a fiduciary capacity across this community, but also to offer clients expanded in-house service offerings from fellow independent, local experts and specialists in the fields of legal, taxes, risk management, family services, real estate and even insurance,” said Trevor Wilde, MBA, AIF®, founder and CEO of Wilde Wealth Management Group.
