WHY

In 1987, Sand Hill Advisors saw the need to offer customized planning-based financial services and resources for our clients. Over the past two decades, we have developed a tailored platform to meet our clients’ wide-ranging financial and transitional wealth planning needs.

Our continued success rests on:

  • our recognition of the need to customize these tailored platforms,
  • the comprehensive relationship we establish with each of our clients, and
  • our commitment to objectivity, independence and integrity.

At Sand Hill Advisors, we recognize that the money we manage represents our clients’ hopes and dreams, and we take that responsibility very seriously by offering:

Solutions for Women in Transistion

Over the years, Sand Hill Advisors has developed a special capability in working with women going through major life/wealth transitions such as inheritance, divorce or "sudden wealth." Additionally, we work with families in which women are sharing more of the financial responsibility with their spouse. We have learned that women going through these types of transitions need and want active training and support. We work to inspire and educate these women to take charge of their financial lives. In addition to individual coaching, we also offer our female clients resources such as seminars and events to expand their educational and networking opportunities. We believe that a financially competent and confident woman increases her power to effect positive change in the world.
