Who We Are

Our Process

We believe a full range of professional advice makes wealth management more effective and more efficient.

As a client of Seneca Financial Advisors, you can count on us to be accessible, responsive, and fully engaged in your financial life. We assume direct responsibility for designing and executing your financial plan and coordinate with other professionals as needed to ensure every element is implemented thoughtfully and effectively.

We use an open-architecture platform and construct portfolios using a combination of separate account managers, mutual funds, and ETFs. In addition to investment management, we provide comprehensive financial planning services, including income tax planning and compliance, retirement planning, estate and gift planning, employee benefit planning, and risk management.

Our goal is to make your financial plan clear and easy to understand, while minimizing the time and effort you personally spend managing it. And because Seneca is a fiduciary firm, you can be confident that our advice is independent, objective, and aligned with your best interests.

What You Can Expect From Us

Independent Advice

We are here to advise, not to sell products. At Seneca Financial Advisors, our compensation comes solely from our clients, not from commissions or product sales. This structure allows us to deliver objective advice that is focused on our clients’ best interests.

Consistent Contact

Each client works with a principal advisor who serves as a single point of contact. Your advisor meets with you regularly to identify objectives, answer questions, provide updates, and oversee your overall financial plan.

The Right Advice

If your circumstances or service needs fall outside the scope of what Seneca provides, your advisor will recommend other qualified professionals to meet those needs. Over the years, we have worked alongside certified financial planners, chartered financial analysts, attorneys, insurance professionals, and certified public accountants, depending on each client’s specific situation.

Direct Information

We provide our advice within the context of a continuous flow of information, drawing from our own analysis as well as input from any other investment advisors, accountants, attorneys, or insurance professionals you may engage.

Long-Term Commitment

While your needs may change from year to year, most clients require thoughtful, coordinated guidance over the long term. We are committed to providing professional advice whenever it is needed, helping you maintain a steady course through changing markets, laws, and life circumstances.

Every member of our team is committed to exceptional client service.
