More than any other question, people ask me what it is about Buttonwood that makes us unique in an industry that looks so much alike. The answer has much to do with where it concept for Buttonwood came from.
For over 10 years I worked in and managed offices in a 6 state region for a nationwide brokerage firm. I oversaw and worked beside brokers that managed more than 100,000 accounts for more than 25,000 clients representing more than $1 Billion in investable assets.
When the firm I worked for was sold to a bank, I knew without a doubt — based on everything I had heard over the years — that a bank was not where most of my customers wanted to end up. So I took the comments, complaints, ideas, and wishes, I heard over the years and they became the founding philosophy for Buttonwood Financial Group.
Even today, in our customizable world, when we meet with prospective clients I still find it amazing how they are often left speechless when we ask what they want their money and investments to do for them. They're used to being told what can or can’t be done, then placed in a “box” along with everyone else that wants about the same things they do from their assets. At Buttonwood Financial Group we don’t tell you in which box you fit, we build the “box” to fit you. After all it’s your money, your needs, and your life – shouldn’t you help define the services you want?
At Buttonwood Financial Group we have taken our goal of being a “client centric” firm to the next level. Over and over again we have found that this is what our clients want:
--- Better service than they can get anywhere else, honest, top-notch professionals, a first-rate team focused on their objectives, 24-hour access to their accounts, and everything personalized to them — oh, and by the way, at a rate less than most of the other lower service competitors.
When done right, a wealth management firm can make a huge positive impact on someone's life. I've had people coming in crying, not knowing where to go or what to do, and we have been able to work with them to turn their whole lives around. We really do work with our clients to secure families' entire futures! That is a huge responsibility but it is what gets us motivated - every morning!
Take your time, browse the different sections of the site, and I believe you will come away with a good feel for what it is that Buttonwood Financial Group does. If you don’t find what you are looking for, please let me know. And if you like what you see — even if you are not yet a client — and would like to attend one of our “client appreciation events” listed on the Calendar of Events, let us know and we will welcome you with open arms.
