Your Wealth Management Team

About us

Granite Financial brings decades of experience to the table so that we can turn your decades of hard work into prosperity and peace of mind for many more to come.

For many years, the independent wealth management professionals at Granite Financial Group have helped our clients achieve their specific financial goals by crafting and executing wealth management strategies designed to endure not only today’s economic landscape but tomorrow’s as well.

Without you, we wouldn’t be where we are today — it’s something we keep top of mind when working with our clientele.
Those who entrust us with their nest eggs, their life savings, or their hopes and aspirations for the future, do so because we’ve instilled confidence in them that we’ll do the right thing, every time. We welcome the opportunity to do the same for you.
If you have been looking to speak with a professional about how to safely navigate the financial waters of your future, and have been trepidatious about doing so, we get it.
It’s a big decision and it should not be taken lightly. We’re happy to discuss your options in a no obligation forum, layout potential pathways for you to choose from and then give you the space to make decisions in your own time. In our world, those that we work with typically stay with us for life, so there’s no need to move too quickly into making such vital decisions.
