When You ACT,
You Get More

More strategy. More clarity. More of what matters—delivered by a fee-only fiduciary financial planning and investment management firm that puts your interests first.

We help successful families, executives, and professionals simplify complex finances, pursue tax-efficient strategies, and plan for what’s next.

Your financial life is complex—and moving fast. If you value strategy, clarity, coordination, and expert partnership, you’re in the right place.

Senior Executives Navigating
Complex Compensation

You’re managing a demanding career, and your compensation reflects it—stock options, RSUs, deferred compensation plans, and bonuses that carry real opportunity and real risk. You want to reduce tax friction, align benefits with long-term goals, and make informed financial decisions without pressure or product sales. We help design strategies to address complexity and support your financial goals.

Families Managing Significant Wealth and Pivotal Decisions

You have significant assets or income, growing complexity, and the responsibility that comes with both. You may be navigating major life events—retirement, a business sale, inheritance, or preparing to transfer wealth to the next generation. You want integrated advice that connects investments, taxes, estate planning, and legacy goals. We provide thoughtful collaboration, clear guidance, and a relationship grounded in trust.

Credit Union Executives with
Unique Benefit Packages

You’ve built a mission-driven career and earned benefits like 457 plans or split-dollar arrangements—benefits that require specialized, objective guidance. You want advice that aligns with your values, reduces unnecessary tax exposure, and takes advantage of your Tax Delta™ superpower. We understand the credit union movement and help you uncover opportunities within your current benefits package—so it works as hard for you as you do for your members.

    ACT Advisers has managed my money for a couple years as created a sound long term financial plan. The results have been great. They advised me on strategies to save on taxes and modeled the financial impact of buying and selling real estate as we first bought a second home and are now building our dream home on Amelia Island. They have been superb in all respects. I highly recommend them.

  • Although my account is very small, Pat Latta is always there for me ready to offer sound advice regarding my financial situation. I appreciate his attention to someone who is not among his biggest clients.

We are immensely proud to learn that he has been included in LPL Financials’ Chairman’s Council, moving him to the top 1% of the LPL’s 21,000 strong nationwide network. His getting this honorable recognition demonstrates his expertise, hard work, and commitment to his clients to achieve their financial goals, that we have seen from day one till to date. His approach built with knowledge and trust is so unique and that has brought satisfaction to his clients including us. We have always felt that Doug and his group are with us during all circumstances. Being proud members of his leadership team, we are incredibly happy to say, “Our Hearty congratulations to Doug, and wish him the best”. Sincerely, Shaila n Vijay Shroff
