We Asked Every Client the Same One Question. How would you describe us to a friend?

No cherry-picking. No edits. Just honest answers from the families we serve.

Glassman advisors make me feel that I am very important to them even though I am not a large client. They are very responsive, and I never feel that their fees are more important to them than my financial needs. Not only are their advisors easy to work with, they have a great research team. After 15+ years of them managing my portfolio, I am very happy with their investment decisions. I feel that this is one part of my life I don’t need to worry about.
Sam
They truly understand my goals and consistently offer clear, trustworthy and ultimately successful guidance while making everything feel effortless and secure.
Louis
We went to Glassman Wealth because we were disappointed in our then current financial advisor who could never remember some of the most basic facts about our situation, our goals, and our family. Glassman Wealth is the exact opposite. Our advisors and Barry are always there when anyone in our family needs advice or help on almost anything, not even just financial questions. They are kind and warm and always remember everything about each family member or at least it seems they do! Because of the work they do to know each of us, they provide financial advice that responds to who WE are and what OUR goals are.
Liza
A small independent financial advising firm. I very much like the advisors I’ve been working with for three years. They’re extraordinarily responsive, helped me after my husband died in ways I don’t think most firms do, and have done very well for me.
Martha
An extension of the family, helping us plan for future success

Brandon
Full service financial advisory and administration. Custom reporting, as much information as one might want regarding portfolio performance and investment rationale. Help with taxes, estate planning, and routine account matters. I have specific staff members dedicated to my account so one call or email suffices when I need anything. We are risk averse, retirees focused on capital preservation and we have met our objectives over at least 25 years with Barry and GWA.

Sharon
I would and have described you as someone who you can look to for advice on how to manage your financial situation (current and future). I would and have also indicated that working with your firm is truly a family activity as Glassman Wealth has been there for my children when they needed financial advice and when I started with Barry, our kids were just barely teenagers and are now full grown professionals. I would also say that I agree with the philosophy of not trying to pick single winners but to look at the overall market and go with funds rather than individual stocks/bonds. Lastly, I would add that the people whom we have worked with are good at what they do (advice wise) and also are just nice people and are responsive to our questions, comments and ideas.

The Just One Client™ Difference

Most firms maximize profits by minimizing time with clients-hundreds of clients per advisor, rushed meetings, checkbox financial planning.

We do the opposite.

Low client-to-advisor ratios

We intentionally keep these ratios low
so we can spend more time with you, not less.

Comprehensive, in-house expertise

We coordinate with outside CPAs, attorneys, and insurance agents to make sure we are on one team, with one strategy, truly working together for our clients.

Proactive, not reactive

We reach out to you throughout the year as your life changes and opportunities arise. You’re never waiting for an annual review to address what matters now.

This is what it means to be treated like our only client-even when you’re not.

Asset Management Firm

And possibly your success. See how our Full Fiduciary culture enriches lives
by bringing together innovative ideas and beneficial connections.

The Proactive Leadership
Your Financial Life Deserves

Why are you paying advisors who aren’t talking to each other?

Your advisors are individually smart and caring. But you’re still missing the most significant part: them working as a team.

At Glassman, we bring that leadership to you. We don’t just manage your investments-we proactively coordinate every critical area of your financial life, from tax strategy and estate planning to insurance and healthcare decisions. While other firms focus narrowly on asset management, we ensure nothing falls through the cracks.

This is wealth management that goes way beyond percentages and pie charts.
