Bartlett Wealth Management
Local Compliance Office and Business Support
The team at Bartlett Wealth Management is a fully independent financial planning office, that also provides compliance oversight and back-office support to other independent financial planning practices. This is our industry's way of insuring that important legal requirements are being met and that processes are in place to protect the privacy and interests of our clients.
Planning for Good has elected to team up with Bartlett Wealth Management, along with Cambridge Advisors, to best serve our clients, while also maintaining full independence from product providers, so we can best abide by our fiduciary duty to our clients.

Cambridge Investment Research, Inc.
Because we offer our clients investment services and financial planning advice, we are required to partner with a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) and/or a broker-dealer to process business and receive compensation. We chose Cambridge Investment Research, Inc.
With Cambridge, we choose to work with you in a way that keeps your best interests in mind. They have no proprietary products (i.e.: mutual funds, annuities, insurance, bank products, etc.) that other hybrid/dually registered RIAs might. This helps us, as your advisory team, to keep our fiduciary duty to you; that is, to "act in the best interest of the client at all times when providing financial advice."
In short, Cambridge serves as our head compliance team. They ensure everyone is properly licensed, review background checks, and help us provide all legally required disclosures. For more information, visit www.joincambridge.com
