Turn to a Trusted Advisory Firm Who Checks All The Right Boxes:

We run our practice our way, not how a Wall Street firm wants us to. It allows us the freedom to provide better service, more competitive pricing, and control growth to take care of current clients. 

Fee-Only

No commissions, no referral fees or any other sort of kickback. Not to be confused with “fee-based” (fees and commissions), which most advisors are.

Fiduciary

As fiduciaries, we must act in your best interest by avoiding conflicts of interest, being transparent about fees, and giving advice with loyalty, prudence, and care.

CFP Professionals

As CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER professionals, the Blue Water team holds themselves to a high level of professional training, ethics and accountability

Experienced

Over 35 years of combined experience as financial advisors.Blue Water has been an independent, fee-only, fiduciary financial advisory firm since its founding in 2003.

Client Focused

Our priority is our existing clients, so we limit the number of new clients we work with. Our boutique approach ensures higher-level service and personal attention.
