Not Your Average Financial Advisory Firm
We wanted to know what makes Rhode Island’s number one financial advisory firm so special, so we took a few minutes to talk with Independent Financial Advisor and owner, David Allen, Managing Partner and Financial Advisor, Barrett Costello, and Operations Director, Amy O’Connell.
The first question we had for David, Barrett and Amy was what makes Balance Wealth Advisors unique compared to their competition in Rhode Island. Here’s what he had to say:
“We pride ourselves on being comprehensive financial planners. One of the things that really separates us is that we work closely with the other paid professionals in our clients’ lives to make sure everybody has a consensus on what the advice should or shouldn’t be, so that the client can get the best advice. We’re also independent, so we are not told to sell any product or service. This helps to keep the costs low for our clients as well as what makes us true fiduciaries.”
David and Barrett are Managing Partners and have been in the financial industry for over 20 years. The core of their business is located in Wellesley, MA. They have been in the Providence location for 12 years.
David, Barrett and Amy went on to add:
“Meeting our clients’ next generation is a big focus for us. We want to continue those relationships with their family. We focus on taking care of the day-to-day management and implementation of our clients’ investments; we work hard with them to set goals, establish their risk tolerance and discuss future liquidity needs. We would love to have a ‘get acquainted’ discussion with anyone to find out if our services are the right fit for them.”
We also asked David, Barrett and Amy about Balance Wealth Advisors’s mission and how they work to make the world a better place. David, Barrett and Amy told us:
“We work with a few different charities in the community every year, which our clients will take part in as well. We have worked with a local organization, called Family Promise Metrowest, and we are on the board for their annual walk. We also partake in other fundraising efforts for them throughout the year. The team bands together and makes meals or collects various items needed for the people that utilize Family Promise services. Toys for Tots is a huge charity we participate to every December, where we will raise money and have clients bring in toys for us to donate.”
Building Success by Asking for Reviews
When we asked David, Barrett and Amy what their secret is to such a strong online reputation at Balance Wealth Advisors, they said:
“We encourage our clients to let us know how they are using social media and ask what type of review sites they use. We then will ask them to go out to Google, Facebook or Yelp and give us a review if they so desire. Positive or negative, feedback is always welcomed! A lot of our reviews are written by clients that have been with David from the beginning, and they absolutely love what they’ve received from us throughout the years. It is a main focus of BWA to personalize our social media content. We would rather share things that actually are meaningful or relevant to us in the moment versus just posting benign material.”
Apart from building the kind of online reputation any business would envy, Balance Wealth Advisors has spread the word about their service through networking and social media:
“We are part of two different networking groups that help us with getting our business name out there. We religiously attend each and every meeting, typically more than one BWA associate, and we are very active in actually networking with each member one-on-one a few times throughout the year. We learn a lot from the various members, as they are all working in an alternate career. We are also very active on social media with getting our information out there, especially with utilizing videos on who we are, how we’re different and why our clients should care. We try to be as transparent as possible with our website, social media and basically all public interactions in the hopes that people will see the value and know exactly what they should expect prior to ever meeting us.”
Every business owner wants to grow their business and build their online reputation the way Balance Wealth Advisors has. Here’s David, Barrett and Amy’s advice for them:
“Social media is huge. You need to market yourself effectively. Start building your reputation online early. Don’t try to grow too fast. Just work hard and persevere, and you can be successful! Having transparency and honesty with everyone you interact with will go a long way. In our business, we get referrals consistently not only from our clients, but from all people we interact with, attorneys, CPA’s, insurance Reps, etc. We believe that if you always do the right thing by people and act with integrity, it will come back to you 10-fold.”
Congratulations to the team at Balance Wealth Advisors for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, David, Barrett and Amy, for taking the time to speak with us!
