Wealth Planner (Associate) - CFP® Professional

Our services, approach, and culture

Tobias Financial Advisors, founded in 1980, offers tailored wealth management and financial planning services for affluent individuals and business owners, specializing in proactive tax strategies and dynamic life transitions. With a commitment to fiduciary responsibility and a team-based approach, we deliver personalized solutions that integrate with our clients' broader financial goals. Our diverse experience and collaborative culture ensure we provide exceptional value, guiding clients through every stage of wealth accumulation and legacy planning.

Our story begins back in 1980 when Benjamin Tobias founded our firm as an accounting and tax practice that supported local business owners and professionals. Over the years Ben realized his clients did not receive unbiased and integrated financial advice. Ben was an early adopter of the fee-only model, meaning he removed commissions from our business to help ensure that we always acted in our clients' best interests, and that's a value that still drives us today - we're committed to doing what's right for our clients, plain and simple.

We are driven by a clear vision – to inspire, educate, and prepare our clients so they can live the lives they want, and as such we are always willing to flex depending on the client’s specific needs and goals. Our values emerged as a reflection of this vision and of our collective beliefs and aspirations, and they drive how we interact with clients, employees, other professionals, and the broader community.
