Blackshire Wealth Management is located in West Chester, about 20 minutes from Vanguard's campus in Malvern, PA. We serve high-income families, Vanguard employees, and professionals throughout Chester County with fee-only, fiduciary financial planning.
Local financial planning means more than being nearby. It means understanding the employers in your area, the housing market, the specific companies where your clients work, and the financial dynamics that are common in your community. Blackshire serves a significant number of Vanguard employees because we understand Vanguard's compensation structure, their 401(k) plan, their deferred compensation program, and the financial planning questions that come up in a Vanguard career.
Blackshire is fee-only and fiduciary. We are paid only by our clients, never by commissions on insurance, annuities, or financial products. We have no financial incentive tied to what you buy, sell, or hold. Our only incentive is to give you the best advice possible.
In a region with many financial advisors competing for clients, the fee-only, fiduciary distinction matters. It means the advice you receive is not influenced by what generates the highest payout for the person giving it.
Our office is at 1065 Andrew Drive, Suite 2b, West Chester, PA 19380, about 20 minutes from Vanguard's Malvern campus and easily accessible from throughout Chester County. We also meet virtually for clients who prefer remote meetings. See our Vanguard employee planning page →
