About Us
With over 40 years of combined experience Pine Bend Wealth Management was formed based on a set of core values centered around trust and open communication. We pride ourselves on having established long-term trusted relationships with our clients by adhering to one simple principle: our clients are at the center of everything we do.

Our Philosophy
We believe the adaptations the pine makes as it travels through its various life stages are similar to those that our clients make as they navigate the various life stages of investing. In essence, we believe our clients deserve a financial plan that is engineered to stand the test of time under varying circumstances, pursue the stated results and work towards an environment of collaboration between us and you.
Our Process
A strong planning process is the best way to create a more financially secure plan. It is crucial to create a financial plan that seeks to protect your needs now, and that plans for the future, in a tax efficient manner. Our process begins with getting to know you and your goals. Tell us where you want to go, and we'll work with you to develop a plan that suits your needs. And as your life changes, we'll adjust your plan so it better aligns with your new path.
