Our Focus
As a successful corporate executive, professional, or business owner, your business endeavors present priorities on a daily basis that require focus and dedication that most other individuals are not able to sustain. However, it’s this same focus and dedication to your business that can prevent you fully realizing the financial opportunities available to you by integrating your personal, company benefits or business planning into an overall financial plan.
It’s at this very intersection, where corporate and individual planning meet, that MacArthur Financial specializes in wealth management advisory and financial planning services for corporate executives, professionals, business owners, and their families. Our job is to help you understand what is available. The next step is to strategize, implement and integrate the most beneficial strategies for your particular situation.
MacArthur Financial is independently owned and is not bound to any one company, product or provider. As your planning advocate, we bring together the necessary resources based on your unique needs and deliver them with objectivity and superior personal service.
Strategic Partners
MacArthur Financial maintains independent relationships with some of the industry’s top echelon of global financial resources. By combining these resources with our high level of personal service and expertise, we offer the best of both worlds-institutional quality and selection with concierge-level service and advocacy.
