About Us
• Galatians 5:13 •
"You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh, but through love serve one another."
One important distinction in working with Thrive Stewardship compared to your average investment firm is the option to approach planning and finance with a Biblical perspective.

Best Interest Advisors
Fiduciary means a legal obligation to act in the best interest of one's clients.
That's why we refer to ourselves as "Best Interest Advisors".
A fiduciary is someone legally obligated to act in the best interest of another. Because of that, we like to refer to them as Best Interest Advisors. As one of the highest legal duties of one party to another, being a fiduciary requires being bound ethically to act in the other's best interests. In other words, we ALWAYS have your back.
If you go to a bank advisor or fund company who own their own mutual funds, which funds do you think they are going to recommend? Probably their own, right? See the potential conflict of interest there?
Many “financial advisors” say they have their clients' best interests in mind, but are prone to recommend products that they or their company will benefit from. That sounds more like their own best interest. That's why we recommend you don’t use an advisor who is not a licensed fiduciary and be aware when you're being recommended products; not services. As an independent advisor and a fiduciary, we will never limit your options and will always give you honest recommendations.
