Our Advantage

Our Advantage

At Besselman Wealth Planners, our top priority is you, our client. We approach each individual’s financial plan as a unique, living document, and don’t try to fit you into a specific product or service. What matters most to us is recommending strategies that are appropriate for you and your goals. 

We are able to provide a highly specific, holistic plan for your financial future in large part because of our independent business model. Through our independence, we can:

  • Provide in-depth, comprehensive care
  • Fit a portfolio to a client, not the other way around
  • Have access to hundreds of products, not just proprietary ones
  • Have the infrastructure of a large, independent broker-dealer
  • Provide a boutique level of service to each and every client 

We will examine your investment, insurance, retirement, and estate needs. With this thousand-foot view, we can make recommendations that are designed distinctly for you.

Our Partners

Through the companies we work with, we have access to several teams of professionals who analyze markets, manage portfolios, and provide various strategies for investment needs.

We are affiliated with the broker-dealer FSC Securities Corporation (FSC), which is part of one of the largest independent advisor networks, Advisor Group. FSC provides us with the resources to implement security transactions on our clients’ behalf, as well as a wealth of other tools and information which we are able to put to work for you.
