Welcome

PH & Associates’ goal is to devise a wealth management strategy with you, for you. Wealth management is more than returns—it’s about who you are and what you prioritize.

“We want to show you how we can align an investment management strategy that holds you accountable to the financial life that you want to live,” according to Steven Hanwacker, Senior Financial Advisor. 

“We will put the time in to become a trusted voice of reason that you can lean on for the long term.”
