WHY CHOOSE BTG?
At BTG we choose to work with a smaller and more select group of clients in order to provide as much value to each relationship as possible. We partner together as a Team so that every client relationship has two CFP®s working with them. We are true fiduciaries. We don't sell products and only get paid on our advice. We are retirement specialists and we know our stuff.
