The Human Services Center is proud to call RIA our partner and we have entrusted their outstanding team with our assets since 2017. Our aspect that has separated them both in the competitive bid process and in our experience to date was and is their exceptional communication, availability, and responsiveness.

Individual Client

Raffa has managed our personal investments for more than 10 years. We could not be happier working with and trusting this team.  They are knowledgeable, responsive, and very pleasant.  Having recently retired, they helped guide us through our retirement income questions, allocations, and perspectives on our next steps. The tools and resources they provide also helped us understand our overall strategy, including how to balance risk and expected returns.
