Communication and trust are the keys to the Bower Team's approach to serving as Family CFOs. According to Ken, "Working with a limited number of clients allows us to have an intimate knowledge of each family member's specific goals and dreams. For each client, our team outlines a roadmap for financial success. Then, we execute the plan and follow up regularly."
By keeping lines of communication open, Ken and his brother, Matt, have built long-term relationships with families. "We want to ensure that each of our relationships is mutually beneficial and designed to last a lifetime." The Bower team currently works with 85 families in 28 cities throughout the country.
