Working with us

What working with us looks like

Five steps, from the first conversation to the ongoing relationship, and an illustrative look at what a client sees along the way.

The engagement steps

  1. 01

    Introductory conversation

    Book a complimentary 30-minute consultation with our advisory team. Submitting an inquiry or booking a call does not establish an investment advisory relationship.

  2. 02

    A scoped engagement or an ongoing relationship

    Advisory services are provided only under a signed advisory agreement. The engagement takes one of these forms:

    • Scoped: Project Engagement. One-time projects: treasury policy, custody architecture, token liquidity planning, due diligence reviews.
    • Ongoing: Individual & Family Advisory. Complimentary introductory meeting to discuss goals and services. Includes financial planning, portfolio reviews, and ongoing advisory.
    • Ongoing: Investment Management. Discretionary portfolio management with ongoing monitoring and rebalancing.

    How each engagement is priced is on our pricing page.

  3. 03

    Onboarding

    The steps to become a client — sharing your information, the identity and suitability checks a registered adviser is required to complete, and signing the advisory agreement — handled in one guided flow with a clear view of what is done and what is left. A human at the firm reviews and approves each step.

  4. 04

    The first deliverable

    Each situation is different, but the planning work starts the same way: organize the facts, clarify what the wealth needs to do, and decide which decisions need specialist coordination before acting. The first deliverable is usually a decision map: the open decisions, who coordinates each one, and the order they need to be made in. Every recommendation a client sees is reviewed and issued by a human advisor.

  5. 05

    The ongoing cadence

    A scoped engagement ends with its deliverable. An ongoing relationship continues on a meeting and monitoring cadence set with you when the engagement is scoped, and revisited when your situation changes. Decision records keep a record of the decisions made over the course of the relationship — what was recommended, what was discussed, and what was agreed.
