Mission Statement
Our goal is to instill confidence that your financial affairs are in order so you can focus on what matters most to you - family, business, leisure.
Welcome

A Single Source to Which You Can Turn   The BG Wealth Management Group is a financial advisory team that works with individuals and families throughout the United States.

Those who come to us have reached a stage of life where they recognize they need more than simple investment advice.  Their circumstances have become increasingly complex, and they no longer feel they have the time or expertise to effectively manage all aspects of their financial life:

  • Can I afford the lifestyle I envision without fear of outliving my savings?
  • What strategies can I employ to reduce taxes?
  • How do I maximize my pension and Social Security?
  • Do I have the correct amount of life, long-term care, and disability insurance?
  • How do I teach my kids to be more financially responsible?
  • Should I consider more sophisticated estate planning strategies?

Our team’s primary objective is to address these concerns, help simplify your financial life, and instill confidence & trust that your financial affairs are in order so you can focus on what’s most important to you – family, business, and leisure.
