50+ Years of Experience...
The Centerpoint Group is a multi-disciplinary financial organization that serves the specialized planning and financial service needs of individuals, families, business owners, professionals and executives, combining financial, tax, legal, business and philanthropic matters into a unified plan.
At its core, The Centerpoint Group is composed of registered advisers who provide consulting, advice, investment recommendations and insurance solutions that address your specific needs. The firm maintains an extensive network of regional and national relationships to accomplish your goals.
Objectivity
We are independently owned and operated — free from corporate mandates or proprietary product requirements. That independence allows us to access a full spectrum of solutions from leading institutions. Every recommendation is based on what best aligns with your goals and purpose, not ours.
Client-Centered Planning
Your goals drive every decision we make. We take a holistic, multidisciplinary approach that integrates investments, retirement income, tax and estate strategies, insurance, and business owner planning into one cohesive plan — centered around your life and free from financial clutter.
Professional Partnering
We work collaboratively with your existing team of professionals — attorneys, CPAs, and business consultants — to ensure all areas of your financial life are coordinated and moving in the same direction. This integration helps protect against gaps, inefficiencies, and missed opportunities.
Confidentiality
Trust is the foundation of every client relationship. We never disclose client names or financial details without explicit authorization. Our firm’s reputation rests on a legacy of confidentiality, discretion, and respect for the privacy of those we serve.
Strategic Alliance
As a Member Office of ValMark Financial Group, we are part of a national consortium of independently owned firms with access to leading investment and insurance resources. ValMark’s scale — representing over $40 billion in life insurance and $12 billion in assets under management — enhances our ability to deliver sophisticated strategies while maintaining the personalized guidance of a boutique firm.
