Our Firm, as a Fiduciary, provides financial planning and investment advisory services on a
consolidated fee-only basis to its clients.
As part of our team approach, services are provided utilizing the expertise of team members,
assuring our clients will have the opportunity of a long-term relationship with the advisors and the
Firm.
Through personal discussions with you, we listen carefully to gain a thorough understanding of your
unique goals and objectives based on your particular circumstances. As appropriate, we also review
and discuss a client's prior investment history, as well as family composition and background. We
work with you, utilizing various tools and conversations to determine the best approach for you. As
part of the advisory process we work with each client to answer the following three questions:
Where are you now? Where do you want to be? And, How do you get there?
We manage investment advisory accounts on a discretionary basis. Account management is
guided by the client's stated objectives (i.e., capital preservation, current income, income and
growth, or long term growth) as well as tax considerations. We will maintain a disciplined
approach to rebalancing your portfolio to match your allocation within your risk tolerance
levels. Your portfolio is designed and maintained with the goal of managing your risk to
match your stage in life as well as maximize tax efficiency. Clients may impose reasonable
restrictions on investing in certain securities, types of securities, or industry sectors by
providing written instructions.
The team will work closely with clients to review any necessary changes to the portfolio based on the
following:
Change in financial situation
Change in goals
Change in risk tolerance
Diversification

THIRD-PARTY INVESTMENT ADVISORS SERVICES
IAS may use the services of third-party investment advisors as sub-advisors. If we choose this option, we
will select a third-party investment advisor whose style and talent best fit your individual needs and
objectives. Your agreement with us gives us the authority to hire or fire these managers on your behalf.
Once a third-party investment advisor is selected, we will continue to monitor their performance. If you
are interested in learning more about any of these third-party investment advisors and their services, a
complete description of their programs, services, fees, payment structure and termination features are
found in their service disclosure brochures. Our advisory responsibility is to select and monitor any third-
party investment advisor that provides services to us. Factors that we consider in their selection may
include their size, how long they have been in business, the experience level and turnover of their
portfolio managers, and a review of their historical performance and risk measurements.
In deciding to use a third-party investment adviser to manage your assets, we consider your risk
tolerance, goals, objectives, time horizons, and general financial situation. We also consider your level of
investment experience and the assets you have available for investment. If you were to go to these third-
party investment advisors on your own, the fees they charge you may be more or less than going through
us. However, when using their services directly, you will not receive our expertise in developing an
investment strategy, selecting the third-party investment advisors to use, monitoring the performance of
your account, and changing third-party investment advisors if needed.
EDUCATIONAL CONSULTING SERVICES
We also provide educational consulting whereby we advise students on college preparedness and
education consulting. This may be with our clients as prospects. These services will focus on assisting
client’s children/grandchildren to prepare academically for college – SAT prep, college
applications/essays, college selection, etc. These services are not financial advisory services in nature.
AMOUNT OF MANAGED ASSETS
As of 12/20/2023, we have discretionary assets under management of $450,663,437.
