Ben Tobias

Tobias Financial Advisors

From the Beginning

Our founder, Ben Tobias, began this firm with a vision, to provide compassionate and transparent financial expertise to clients. Employing his experience in international accounting and his own CPA firm, he earned a  CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certificate, to bring comprehensive financial planning solutions to the individuals and families he served. Ben then built a team of advisors who were committed to the same client-first vision.

Early Advocate

Even before it was popularized, Tobias was an advocate of the fee-only fiduciary standard. Ben and the team that he brought aboard wanted to put their clients’ best interest first. Commissions have no place in this business. We believe that planning our clients’ futures is built on trust and that can only happen in a fee-only fiduciary model.

Breaking Down The Jargon

As fiduciaries, we at Tobias Financial Advisors are committed to providing unbiased financial advice and acting exclusively in the best interests of our clients. A fiduciary is a legal obligation and one we take seriously. That’s why our rates our fee-only. So commissions or production-based bonuses don’t get in the way of making the most honest, compassionate, and transparent decisions with and for our clients.

Dan Moisand

 

Dan Moisand is a nationally recognized fiduciary fee-only financial planner, an Institute Real Fiduciary™ Advisor and Chair-elect of the CFP Board.

The Institute has enshrined the ‘Moisand Rule’ on fiduciary practices. It is basic and is more important today than ever: “You have to avoid conflicts. If I avoid a conflict, I don’t worry about it.”

Bob Veres

 

Bob Veres is a long term observer of financial planning. His Newsletter, “Inside information” Is a staple of leading planners. In the May edition he writes about fiduciary and the Institute.

"But a much bigger point is that the fiduciary standard—as Knut Rostad of the Institute for the Fiduciary Standard has pointed out—has been determined by the Supreme Court (1963 ruling) to be at the very heart of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. It is the foundation of what it means to be an RIA registered with the SEC instead of a tipster or a tout."
