Wealth Approach

The Independent Wealth Approach

There’s no doubt about it; financial planning expands well beyond numbers and returns. The work we do requires so much more — we guide our clients toward building a solid foundation and help them to see the bigger financial wellness picture. Our goal isn’t to simply meet fiduciary requirements, rather, we work to consistently exceed the standards — in the process, elevating those we support to step into their physical, spiritual and financial freedom.

The Independent Wealth Team

In 2013, our founder Shelby Trinkino took a leap after 25 years as a corporate executive when she merged two top financial advisory practices and took over a well-established legacy of investment/financial planning advice. It has been a dream realized to combine years of experience, study and training in the securities markets and apply those to her own advisory business helping clients realize their dreams.

We are passionate at Independent Wealth Strategies about helping people make wise financial and life decisions. We are humbled and honored to have clients share their life stories, ambitions and aspirations with us. As CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Practitioners we are proud to uphold the highest fiduciary standards and work diligently to deeply understand what our clients are trying to accomplish financially and otherwise for themselves and their family.

We take pride in helping our clients align their values with their money, in pursuit of a more meaningful, purpose driven life. To share and celebrate the milestones with our clients over multiple generations has been truly a gift.
