BLBB Advisors, Financial Guidance Since 1964

Individuals & Families

We understand that life is complex. BLBB helps you manage family and business dynamics while making crucial financial decisions to support your family and future generations.

Financial Planning

Financial planning is a dynamic, lifelong process that can help answer questions such as "when can I retire?"; "will we outlive our assets?" or "what happens if (insert worry here)". We provide comprehensive, goals-based financial planning that evolves with your circumstances and interests. Having a plan allows you to navigate all aspects of your financial life and gain better control over your financial future.

Our team is experienced in a wide variety of financial planning topics:

  • Preparing for major life transitions, including retirement, liquidity events, career change, and wealth transfers
  • Goal setting and aligning your resources with your hopes and wishes
  • Estate planning and the challenges of passing wealth to younger generations and other beneficiaries
  • Valuation assessment and planning for business owners
  • Strategic planning for charitable giving and philanthropy
  • Educating younger family members about finances and wealth
  • Aligning asset allocation to minimize risk and enhance the likelihood of achieving your goals
  • Risk management
  • And much more

Investment Management

Our investment management services include:

  • Customized asset allocation parameters based on your risk/reward assessment, time horizon, goals, and other circumstances
  • Portfolio construction, ongoing maintenance, and regular rebalancing to help your assets remain aligned with your goals and risk tolerance
  • Incorporating tax-efficient investments and alternative investments where appropriate
