About

Turning Point Financial serves individuals and families, entrepreneurial business owners, high‑net‑worth clients and employer retirement plans. The firm provides fiduciary financial planning and discretionary investment management, alongside model‑based asset management and modular planning services.

Turning Point delivers advice through a team‑based process, using third‑party platforms and sub‑advisers (including SEI and Charles Schwab) and behavioral/risk‑profiling tools to build customized and model portfolios; accounts are monitored regularly with at least annual reviews. Clients can engage standalone planning modules (cash‑flow management, retirement, estate, insurance analysis) or ongoing investment management that typically grants Turning Point discretionary trading authority.

The firm’s notable distinctions include an in‑house team of Certified Public Accountants that provides tax preparation, tax planning, accounting and business valuation services (with a credit for ongoing planning clients), and an affiliated insurance general agency used to facilitate insurance recommendations. Turning Point discloses that several advisory personnel hold CPA and insurance licenses and that third‑party marketing or sponsorship relationships exist, identifying these arrangements as potential conflicts of interest.
