Meet Sarah
Getting a life raft when you need it most
Sarah was going through a challenging life event and sought counseling and emotional support from someone she deeply trusted. During their conversations, it became apparent that Sarah would benefit from working with a financial advisor, so she referred Sarah to our firm. Our team reached out periodically over a six-month period to check in on Sarah and to remind her that the Aspiriant team was there whenever she was ready to meet. After a chance run in at a local eatery with the prospective Aspiriant wealth manager, Sarah decided to learn more. Our team deeply listened, digging in to fully understand her needs, goals, values and dreams. Our thoughtful and comprehensive discovery process, among many other reasons, are what led Sarah to the decision of hiring Aspiriant.
Outside of traditional advising services (financial planning, investment management) our Aspiriant team acted as a financial quarterback – coordinating and assisting with important value-added services like tax planning, estate planning and more. We also demonstrated our relationship wasn’t just transactional. Our team educated Sarah on financial topics, conducted a workshop for her kids about investing and finance, and when Sarah’s dad passed away, our team was there for her by providing support and tools to assist her during the grieving process.
Our Aspiriant team was not just investing in the market but was also investing in Sarah. We believe this collaborative relationship built on mutual respect and trust was the real currency Sarah and our team traded.
