This year, Highland will cross a milestone: 20 years in business. 🎉
When we started, the goal was simple: do right by clients. We believed then, and still do, that clients deserve more humanity and more rigor than the industry normally offers. Thoughtful advice. Disciplined investing. Authentic, long-term relationships.
Over the years, the firm has changed in all the ways it needed to. What began as a solo advisor practice and has grown to 11 team members. Better systems have enabled deeper planning and higher standards. What hasn’t changed is the mindset: long-term thinking, low ego, and a focus on doing the work the right way.
Today, we’re less interested in growth for growth’s sake and more focused on impact. Deeper relationships. Planning that drives decisions. A team that’s empowered, curious, and proud of what they do.
I’m proud of what we’ve built over the past 20 years, and even more excited about where we are headed. ➡️
I’m grateful to our clients who trusted us early on, our team who raises the bar every day, and the many people who’ve been part of the journey along the way.
