The Summit Client Experience

Complexity Meets

Experience and Efficiency

Our methodologies and services are designed to simplify complex situations seamlessly with your goals—no matter the changes in your life—leaving you to focus on living your best possible life during and after your career.

There are Three Ways We Work with Our Clients

Foundational Strategy

Sometimes all you need is a specific product or service to round out your already-in-place plan. The cost of a comprehensive plan does not make sense in these situations, and we take an unbiased approach to find the best fit for you.

WEALTH BASIC

Designed for clients who want a flat fee financial plan. As your financial advisor, we operate under a fiduciary standard, giving you straightforward guidance to help get your entire financial life in order.

WEALTH ELITE

Our WEALTH ELITE process is everything from WEALTH BASIC but for a more complex client. We incorporate coordinating with your other advisors such as CPAs and estate attorneys to build a comprehensive financial plan. WEALTH ELITE brings everything together under one clear path and gives you ongoing access to our team and partners year after year.

Neither MML Investors Services, LLC nor any of its subsidiaries, employees or representatives are authorized to give tax or legal advice. Consult your own personal attorney, legal or tax counsel for advice on specific legal and tax matters. Strategic Alliances are not exclusive relationships. You are free to choose your own professional for these needs.
