Our approach isn’t complicated

Implement what is most appropriate to support their goals.

Flower City Capital was founded on the idea of doing the real work that matters for clients. There are many financial decisions people are faced with regularly, so we want to be there to help. We work closely with our clients to implement what is most appropriate to support their goals.

We believe in providing complete solutions, not one-off fixes. We know finances can be stressful and want our clients to feel confident and comfortable that they are on the right path. We seek to answer every financial question our clients have and focus on what we can control.

Fundamental Financials

The cornerstone of the planning process starts with listening and understanding each clients’ unique financial situation and what is most important to them. Understanding this, along with all their financials, is what creates the strong foundation of a financial plan. With a clear view and understanding of the total picture, our team is able to organize and simplify your financial life while adding value through different strategies and techniques. Below is a menu of some of the topics that our team works through with our clients.
