We believe that good financial advice comes from independent advisors, not companies in the business of producing investment or insurance products. We provide our clients with independent solutions that are tailored to their unique needs.
We offer two distinct but complementary services; Financial Planning and Investment Management. Some of our clients work with us in one area exclusively, but many utilize our services in both areas for seamless, comprehensive, independent financial planning.
Financial Plan
We work with clients to clearly identify goals and create a blueprint for achieving them. A financial plan puts into words what you want to achieve and identifies the tools you need to achieve your life goals. We will work hand-in-hand with you to draft a financial plan specific to your needs.

Rather than paying ordinary income tax on your entire retirement plan distribution, you might consider rolling some or all of the distribution into a traditional IRA.
Investment Management
Investment selection and portfolio construction are particular strengths of Charleston Wealth Advisors, but before any investments are made, we work with you to define your tolerance for risk, time horizon, income requirements, and other unique needs. This information will be documented in a written Investment Policy Statement and used in the management of your investment portfolio.
