What Makes Us Different?

We are an independent firm, which means we don’t offer proprietary products; instead, we take a consultative approach based on many factors unique to your situation.
Team of Professionals
Each client has a core team of professionals working on their behalf. Your core team may also lean on the knowledge of other in-house professionals, outside CPAs, attorneys, and others as needed.

Straightforward Fees
We strive to make our advisory fees easy to understand and transparent. Before becoming a client, we do an analysis that helps you understand what you are presently paying and compare it to what you would pay working with our firm. If you don’t currently understand what you are paying, you may find this process refreshing.

Meet the Team
Everything at our firm truly requires a team effort. As a client, you work with a team of financial professionals who strive to provide consistent communication and follow-through to help you reach your goals.
The Bernicke Experience
One of our goals at Bernicke Wealth Management is to provide you with financial education throughout the process of working with us, starting before you even become a client. Neither you nor the wealth managers make any commitments without thoroughly discussing services, fees, and expectations. If you're considering working with us, rest assured that you'll come away with helpful information regardless of whether you choose to move forward with our firm.
The initial
consultation
The initial consultation is an exploratory meeting to collect goals, financial information and to decide whether we mutually would like to pursue additional planning opportunities. After the initial meeting, additional meetings are scheduled as needed.
Additional Plan
Design Meetings
Additional plan design meetings are used to identify an individual’s financial strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities. Stress testing financial assets against one’s goals, providing specific recommendations, and comparing one’s uniquely developed investment plan also occurs at these meetings.
Once a
Client
Once a client, ongoing communication continues. Our firm monitors your accounts and contacts you as needed when opportunities are identified. In addition, we review your plans and goals regularly or as your financial situation changes.
