WHY GRANDVIEW

Advice aligned with your best interests — not a commission check.

Most of the “financial advisors” Central PA residents meet are really salespeople. We’re different by design.

[ux_icon icon=”icon-shield-check” color=”rgb(201, 169, 97)” icon_style=”square” bg_color=”rgb(0, 101, 59)” size=”2em”] ### Fiduciary, by Obligation As an AIF® Accredited Investment Fiduciary, we are legally and ethically required to put your interests ahead of our own — every meeting, every recommendation, every time.

[ux_icon icon=”icon-dollar” color=”rgb(201, 169, 97)” icon_style=”square” bg_color=”rgb(0, 101, 59)” size=”2em”] ### Fee-Based, Never Commissioned We don’t sell financial products. We don’t earn commissions. When your account does well, we do well. It’s the only model that aligns our success with yours.

No investment minimums. No rush. Just the kind of attentive, personal service that earned us 60+ years in Central PA.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Answers to what most prospective clients ask first.

Yes — and we have the credential to prove it. Bruce Smith is an AIF® (Accredited Investment Fiduciary), legally and ethically obligated to put your interests ahead of our own. Many who call themselves “fiduciaries” can’t say the same.

We’re fee-based. Our fee is a percentage of the assets we manage for you and is deducted from your account quarterly. When your account does well, we do well. We never accept commissions from product sales. Charles Schwab serves as our independent custodian.

No. Unlike most firms, we have no minimum account size. Whether you’re starting your first IRA rollover or managing multi-generational wealth, we’re here to help.

Nothing. Your first consultation is completely free — no cost, no obligation, no pressure. We’ll talk about your situation and goals, and you decide if we’re a fit.

Absolutely. We meet clients in person at our Harrisburg or Mechanicsburg offices, by phone, or on Zoom — whatever works best for your schedule, including evenings and weekends.

Every 3–4 months for a formal review, but you can reach us anytime in between. You’ll always speak directly with your advisor — not a call center.
