Company Profile

Fielder Financial Management, Ltd. is an independent financial and estate planning consulting firm located in Southern California.

For 38 years, we have specialized in providing our clientele across the nation with proven investment and estate planning strategies to help:

  • Reduce current and future taxation
  • Increase annual income
  • Preserve family fortunes

We do not pretend to be all things to all people. No one can, effectively. Like the medical and legal fields, where specialty is the name of the game, we too are specialists.

Specialty Services

We live under a progressive tax structure -- that's a given. However, as the Honorable Supreme Court Judge, Learned Hand, once said: "Anyone may so arrange his affairs that his taxes shall be as low as possible." And we couldn't agree more.

To that end, our goal is to educate you on the legal strategies available to mitigate the negative effects of taxation and help you accumulate, enjoy and eventually pass on your wealth free from customary IRS restrictions or "success" penalties.  Our forte strictly lies in the area of tax-advantaged investment & estate planning strategies.

As a firm dedicated to these principles, we provide both individual investors and corporate institutions with actionable financial solutions necessary to accomplish exactly this.

The Web Helps Us Help You

We were one of the first independent financial services companies to successfully launch and maintain a web presence on the Internet. And as a result, we've helped investors across the U.S. solve or achieve their financial objectives.

It is our goal to hopefully help you too.

Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our site. We trust that you will find it not only informative, but also interesting.
