About Canyon Strategic Wealth

We built our practice around a simple belief: financial planning done well is deeply personal.

Our Story

Built on the Belief That
Planning Should Be Personal

Canyon Strategic Wealth was founded on the principle that every family deserves the same level of coordinated, strategic financial guidance that was once reserved for ultra-high-net-worth households.

As your virtual family office, we serve as the strategic quarterback — coordinating across investments, taxes, estate planning, risk management, and beyond. Every recommendation we make, every strategy we build, is grounded in your unique story, your goals, and what matters most to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

A virtual family office provides the same level of comprehensive, coordinated wealth management that ultra-high-net-worth families receive from traditional family offices — but without the overhead of a dedicated in-house team. We serve as your strategic quarterback, coordinating across investments, taxes, estate planning, insurance, and more to ensure every piece of your financial life works together.

We work with families and individuals who are committed to comprehensive financial planning. While we don't have a strict minimum, our services are best suited for those with $500,000 or more in investable assets, or high-income professionals and business owners planning for significant wealth accumulation. We encourage you to schedule a discovery call to explore whether we're the right fit.

We are a fee-only advisory firm, meaning we are compensated solely by our clients — never through commissions or product sales. This ensures our advice is always in your best interest. Our fee structure is transparent and typically based on a percentage of assets under management, with planning fees for comprehensive services. We'll provide a clear fee schedule during your discovery meeting.

Yes, absolutely. As a Registered Investment Adviser, we are legally and ethically bound to act as a fiduciary at all times. This means we must always put your interests first, provide full disclosure of any potential conflicts of interest, and act with the utmost good faith and care. Our fiduciary commitment is the foundation of everything we do.

Your assets are held by Charles Schwab, one of the largest and most trusted custodians in the industry. We never take custody of client funds. Schwab provides independent account statements, robust security, SIPC protection, and a world-class technology platform. You always have direct access to your accounts through Schwab's online portal.

Proactive communication is core to our approach. At minimum, you'll have a comprehensive annual review, quarterly portfolio reviews, and seasonal strategy sessions. Beyond scheduled meetings, we reach out whenever market conditions, tax law changes, or life events warrant a conversation. You also have direct access to your advisor via phone, email, and our client portal — we respond within one business day.

The discovery call is a complimentary, no-obligation conversation lasting about 30 minutes. We'll learn about your current financial situation, your goals, and what matters most to you. You'll learn about our approach, our process, and how we work. At the end, we'll both have a clear sense of whether working together makes sense. There's no pressure — just an honest conversation.
