Our Practice Provides

Investment Solutions >

Investing is a long-term commitment to your financial well-being. It’s about growing and safeguarding your wealth. Our disciplined, goal-oriented approach ensures your portfolio remains resilient in the face of market and economic fluctuations.

Financial Planning >

Successfully navigating the financial challenges that come with wealth necessitates planning, relevant advice, and a financial advisor who’s always in your corner. Cerity Partners provides all three.

Estate & Gift Planning >

Our sophisticated estate and wealth transfer strategies help you preserve your legacy while minimizing tax burdens. Every recommendation is tailored to your specific needs, leveraging our extensive knowledge of estate, trust, gift, and tax regulations.

Insurance Planning & Risk Management >

Safeguard the financial security you and your loved ones have built. We assess your current risk exposure and develop customized strategies designed to protect the most vulnerable areas of your financial life.

Tax Planning & Preparation >

We design and implement tax optimization strategies, including the creation of detailed tax projections and the preparation of personal, trust, and business tax returns.

Business Owner Financial Planning >

We work with owners of privately-held businesses to help them create and execute transition plans that provide a seamless and successful exit for themselves, their families and other stakeholders.

Investment Advisory for Nonprofit Organizations >

Impactful advice and extensive oversight for foundations, endowments, and charities.​

Executive Financial Counseling >

Your compensation and benefits offerings are a talent retention necessity and, arguably, your executives’ largest source of wealth creation. Executive Financial Counseling helps your senior leaders fully realize these benefits and boost your ROI in the process.

Personal Financial Planning >

Financial well-being is deeply personal. At Cerity Partners, we recognize that the financial complexities faced by employees vary, often less intricate than those of executives. Our Personal Financial Planning services are specifically tailored to evolve with the unique needs of your employees, ensuring they are well-equipped for both career progression and retirement planning.

Retirement Plan Consulting >

Secure retirements begin with a sound and effective plan. Our comprehensive approach is designed to address your goals and objectives while creating a premier retirement plan for your employees.

Financial Coaching >

A financial coach is very similar to an athletic coach, helping you fine tune your skills and progress towards your goals. We build a foundation of basic financial education, providing you and your employees with empowerment to make financial decisions that best fit your needs.
