Our Philosophy

We believe that sound financial planning is achieved through a whole person perspective

We understand that planning is a process and not an event. We center our attention on each client and incorporate his or her values in action and goals. We lend guidance and support when people are confronted with changes requiring important financial decisions . . . career change, business liquidation, retirement, college funding or changes in health or family composition, births and deaths.

Our goal is to become one of your most trusted advisors. We know that trust is earned, and we devote ourselves to keeping promises and delivering services that will maintain that trust. We hope you will rely on us to prepare you to meet life's challenges.

We know financial security is one key to a successful life. Yet we understand that while money can provide freedom, security and happiness, it can also produce fear, anxiety and disappointment. We believe that knowledge is power and money is powerful. We seek to help clients become happier, healthier and wealthier by coordinating both knowledge and money.

Our Approach

At Alaska Financial Associates, we emphasize your interests, your well-being and your peace of mind. We have built a strong reputation for providing excellent fee-based financial planning and capital management. (Investment Advisory Services offered by Terry Welsh & Duncan Frazier through The Planner's Network, a Registered Investment Adviser) We are wealth managers and not simply investment managers because we realize it is impossible to manage investment markets. Recognizing that, we understand that we are charged with the responsibility of managing client expectations about their wealth.

We advise our clients that sound and consistent financial habits are the key to financial security. Our goal is to provide you with comprehensive, objective advice appropriate for your particular situation, and to that end we devote ourselves to getting to know you. We recognize that each person is different, and we carefully listen before developing strategies suitable for a particular situation. Once we understand you, we are able to design a financial plan consistent with your needs and goals. When confronting the complex world of financial products, services and advice, AFA's objective is to help our clients understand what is appropriate and what works best for them. We give straight answers to tough questions, while aggressively pursuing your best interests.
