His firm, which serves high-net-worth clients, emphasizes a holistic approach to financial guidance, focusing on retirement, tax, estate planning, and financial literacy for the next generation. Wealth Stewards has built a robust client base of around 150 families with $200 million in assets under management, primarily acquired through referral relationships with accounting firms.
This model not only strengthens client relationships but also positions Wealth Stewards to capitalize on the increasing demand for comprehensive financial services among aging business owners and professionals. With 90% of clients referred by accountants, the firm is poised for growth as it expands its partnerships within the accounting sector, aiming to secure agreements with additional firms in the coming months.
For market professionals, Tyers’ approach underscores the importance of collaboration between financial advisors and accountants, highlighting a strategic pathway for wealth management firms to enhance client acquisition and retention in a competitive landscape.
