Callahan Financial Planning, an independent, fee-only fiduciary financial advisory firm, has announced it will be merging its operations with TS Prosperity Group. This partnership will double the size of the combined businesses to an estimated $450 million in assets under management, and help the firms provide trustee services, enhanced tax planning, and improved technology to clients.
Both organizations share the highest level of client care and integrity in financial services as fiduciaries. This form of relationship ensures conflicts of interest are mitigated and recommendations are always in the best interests of clients.
Callahan Financial Planning provides holistic personal financial planning that includes the complex integration of investments, income taxes, retirement, insurance, and estate planning for individuals and families. Financial advisory offices are in San Rafael, San Francisco, and Mill Valley in California; Omaha and Lincoln in Nebraska; and Denver and Centennial in Colorado.
When asked about the partnership, Callahan Financial Planning President William Callahan stated: “The culture of our organization has always been centered around our clients and the planning experience they receive. So when we considered combining organizations, it became clear how complimentary our approaches were, including our mutual focus on client impact, and our approach seeking to provide unconflicted financial advice. Ultimately, what convinced us to proceed together was just how much better the experience could get with the shared resources of the two highly compatible organizations together.”
Callahan Financial Planning will stay a separately identifiable division of TS Banking Group, registered as an independent investment adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The TS Prosperity Group will maintain its regulatory status as the trust division of TS Bank, regulated by the Iowa Division of Banking and as a Member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Certain employees and operations are anticipated to be eventually shared between TS Prosperity Group and Callahan Financial Planning.
“Callahan Financial Planning’s vision aligns with our philosophy of great planning to maintain and grow your wealth for today and the next generation,” said TS Banking Group Chief Operating Officer, Kristi Krayneski. “They have a similar culture and mindset on how to help clients achieve financial dreams; their business model provides strength to our investment services and our trust services add strength to their generational planning approach.”
