Welcome to the Buttonwood Financial Group, Kansas City, Missouri

From our President:

For a comprehensive Wealth Management Company, “unique” is not a simple word.

It can be very difficult to convey the difference between an independent firm, like Buttonwood, and a bank or brokerage firm who may be recommending a product to earn a commission or talking up the latest stock from the research department.

The approach Buttonwood Financial Group takes is very different...

Jon and Wendy McGraw, longtime supporters of the arts in Kansas City, finance the Buttonwood Art Space.

to organize and take control

of your financial life!

July ~ Debt & Liability Management

Many financial firms charge fees and commissions to simply manage assets. At Buttonwood we focus on your complete financial picture: Tax, Estate, Insurance, Gifting, Cash Flows, Business Planning and more. That's Buttonwood Wealth Management!

As wealth builds life doesn't get simpler - it gets more complex! Our mission is to assist our clients in organizing and taking control of their financial lives.

Your home is one of your most valuable assets. For that reason, mortgage services are a vital component of financial management.

Mortgage brokers and bank loan officers often sell a particular type, term or size of loan without taking your long-term financial goals into account. Buttonwood adheres to a different philosophy: We review the important questions:

How long do you plan on staying in your home?
What are the pros and cons of the various types of mortgages - which is right for you?
What are the implications of paying off your mortgage?
What are your specific cash flow needs?

These are just some of the factors that play a large role in determining the proper mortgage strategy for your needs.

With interest rates near record lows now is the time to define your mortgage strategy. Contact Vince Pastorino or Jon McGraw at 816-285-9000.
