I have been with BCR (Marshall Rathmell) for over 10 years. During that time, there have been several big events in my life and Marshall has always been there to not only give me financial guidance, but to personally encourage me during those periods. His support staff is phenomenal. It's great to have someome who respects my financial needs and desires and can answer my many questions. Having a firm (BCR) that I can trust with my life savings removes a lot of stress from my life.

BCR has been my financial advisor since 2006. Marshall Rathmell and the rest of his team has managed my investments very successful over the past 18 years. They have helped with estate and tax planning in addition to insurance coverage advise. I think so highly of them that I send my daughter to BCR.

BCR out performs the other firms through the personal attention, timely and informative communications, planning and analytic tools, responsive and reliable service that puts us in the best position to make the most of our investments. We have achieved a great sense of peace and security through our relationship with Marshall Rathmell and the team at BCR. They are simply the very best. We wholeheartedly recommend BCR Wealth Strategies to make your life better in these times of uncertainty. You can trust BCR to always work in your best interest.

We have received excellent advice from this team, and we appreciate that they are a fiduciary advisor, which means they are required to put our interests first. This also means they do not have specific products they are required to sell us, just whatever works best for our situation. We first consulted them several years ago to help us assess our retirement prospects. Since then, they have advised us on decisions about which you may not typically think of consulting a financial advisor. Strongly recommended.

BCR has always been available to assist me with financial questions and more. Our yearly meeting (more if I wished) reviewing personal changes and future plans is warm, directed and reassuring. The switch to Pershing was handled efficiently with as little work, on my part, as possible. Thanks for your good work.
BCR Wealth Strategies is approachable and ready to help in all seasons! Their team has been an incredible partner in crafting and achieving both our short and long term financial goals. They have come alongside us and helped us think outside the box, pushing us beyond what we thought was possible. Our family is grateful for their partnership over the years!
