Business Continuity

“In 2015, we reorganized and formed Crosspoint Wealth Advisors. Our motivation for that partnership was to be good stewards of the relationships we have with our clients and staff and to create a service model that could carry on with excellence well beyond our careers and lifetimes. By taking this very positive step in that direction, we feel like we have accomplished our goal by joining with Blue Trust.”
