To Top

Fiduciary

We provide the highest level of care and accountability. Everything we do must be in your best interest.

Complete Transparency

No magic tricks or distractions. Everything we do is transparent. Log into our online system to see your accounts any time, from any device, no matter where you may be.

Experienced

We have been serving client needs for over 30 years which means we probably have experience in situations like yours.

Local & Available

We are not a large institution. We are your neighbors who happen to offer financial expertise. When you call, we answer. When you need someone, we are here.

Different People. Unique Needs

Some people need help accumulating and growing wealth. Others need assistance with the responsibilities wealth creates. No matter your money issues, we will help you find the solutions which best fit

Retire Confident

Retirement is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but we have helped people retire comfortably and confidently for over 30 years. We can help you too.

Get Comfortable

We provide a safe and relaxed environment where you can be comfortable with your money.

It takes two to tango

We provide the know-how; you provide direction and guidance. 

Simplicity

It is our job to explain your money in simple and straight-forward terms, not to impress you with jargon and investment “speak”. You can never ask too many questions. 

Investing, not trading

It is not flashy, but the long term outlook has stood the test of time. We seek to capitalize on this trend through patience and discipline rather than guessing when to zig and when to zag.

Wealth is not determined by money

Wealth is determined by love, happiness, and relationships. The number of dollars in your account does not make you more or less than anyone else.

You are not your neighbor

There is no magic formula that works for everyone. We have the knowledge, experience and tools to help you plan and achieve your goals.

Putting it all together

All the parts of your life are connected. Getting to know you goes beyond your finances. We want to know your values, hopes, and dreams so your success is not purely financial. A life measured only in dollars can never be rich. 

The media provides exposure, not advice

In this age of information overload, there are an over-whelming number of financial opinions. We help you focus on your specific financial goals by using our experience and knowledge as a filter to cut through the constant noise and chatter.

Independence brings freedom

Our “product” is our guidance and advice, not specific investments. We are neutral and transparent when selecting the solutions necessary to implement your plan.

It is a journey,
not a destination

No matter what your stage of life and career, we can help you. As you change and grow, we adjust so your plan continues to fit your needs.

It’s Alive!

No, I have not fallen off the face of the planet. I have been hard at work on two projects.

The first is our new website, www.dvfin.com. It very recently went live and we are proud of the result. The home page features a feed from this blog, a sign up for free quarterly economic updates by email, and access to our new web-based client platform (more on that later, that is project #2).

Explore the site. You can find information about our financial planning, investment management, retirement income planning, estate planning, education planning, life insurance, disability insurance, and health insurance services for individuals as well as how we do 401(k)'s, exit planning, and group benefits for business.

We would love to hear your feed back. Let us know what you like about the site by using the Contact Us feature or by posting a comment below.

The second project has been our new client portal. For a brief overview, play the movie which is part of the slideshow on our homepage. The feedback we have received on it has been terrific. One client emailed:

I like the software more and more.  It is similar to Mint, but is a bit easier to use.  But the real differentiator to the software is the advisor behind it.  And I'm not saying that to be cute….really, it makes a difference if you have experience to guide you through what the numbers mean.   It feels good to know that even if I blow off my finances for the next 30 days that you are there to get my back.

And another emailed me on a Sunday evening:

Sitting here with a glass of wine tonight and finally logged in…love the website!!!

When a client spends Sunday evening relaxing with a glass of wine and reviewing their finances, I know we have done our job well.

Now that these projects are live, it will be back to our regularly scheduled writing. Enjoy the long weekend.
