At Williamson Ross Financial, we specialize in helping business owners and self-employed professionals bring clarity and confidence to their financial lives. As an independent registered investment advisor, we offer personalized, judgment-free guidance tailored to your real-world needs—no sales pressure, just sound advice.

We don’t sell or promote products, and we never earn commissions or sales incentives from your account transactions. Our only priority is you. Working with us means having a trusted partner who understands the challenges of inconsistent income, complex finances, and long-term planning without a roadmap. We focus on practical strategies that align with your life and your business, so you can make confident decisions and move forward with purpose.

Our Process

  • 1. Schedule a consultation.

    During this free 15-minute call you will tell us your goals and challenges, and we will assess how we might be of service. Visit our booking page to view our availability and choose a day and time that works for you.

  • 2. Review our brochure, client agreement, and intake documents.

    These documents outline our advisor-client relationship, our deliverables, our pricing, and what we need from you. It’s important that you understand and feel comfortable with our services, prices and process before you agree to work with us. So, we give you ample time to look over everything. When you’re ready, return the documents to us to set up an onboarding meeting.

  • 3. Meet with us in person or virtually to onboard.

    To provide tailored advice, we collect information and documents that tell us about your current financial situation, your goals, your timeline and your relationship to money. This step is usually completed over 1-2 meetings.

    As part of onboarding, we will give you access to our client portal, where you can view your profile, advisor-client communications and reports.

  • 4. We go to work.

    Using the information we collect from you, we explore options and run scenarios to determine the best theoretical path to get you where you want to be. From there, we develop a recommendation based on what we believe would be most suitable and practical for you. We create a multi-module report to help you visualize and execute our proposed strategy.

  • 5. Review the strategy.

    Depending on the service you select, this is our final meeting where we recommend a holistic strategy tailored to your needs and lifestyle. We explain the elements that influenced our choices, the features of our recommendation and any relevant alternatives. Once we are comfortable you understand the strategy, expected outcomes and risks as applicable, we guide you on next steps to implement your strategy.
