Our approach is founded on a set of guiding principles designed to assure objective, common sense, affordable advice and customized service. We consciously avoid the flaws that we have seen in most financial and investment planning – high investment fees and expenses, glossy marketing hype, a product sales motive, high net worth requirements for new clients, cookie-cutter recommendations that ignore client circumstances or preferences, and a high turnover of personnel.

Our detailed description of services explains the different stages and facets of our financial counseling process and our common-sense investment strategies. We separately outline our specialized services for divorce clients. These services are also described in firm brochures that can be downloaded. You will see that we offer a flexible menu of services that is designed for a financially diverse clientele.

Our two firm owners and principals, David and Henry Barkhausen, bring extensive and complementary professional expertise of over 25 years each to their work for FFA, as outlined in the background on the firm.
