Our Philosophy

We believe that today’s complex financial world requires most people to obtain professional advice.

With tax laws changing almost yearly, interest rates and inflation fluctuating dramatically, and a global economy requiring both domestic and international investment considerations, an experienced financial professional becomes a necessary and valuable advisor.

At Bates Financial Advisors, Inc., we take a problem-solving approach with an emphasis toward looking at the future.We offer creative ideas and strategies to help achieve personal and family financial objectives, to maximize benefits of closely held business ownership, and minimize both income taxes and estate taxes.

We recommend a fundamental approach to investing with sound economic value, leaving fads and exotic investments to others.
