At Di Bello Financial, we are a fee-only fiduciary CPA CFP® financial planning firm with a focus on empowering high-net-worth clients through tax-efficient, transparent, and fully personalized financial guidance.
We understand fully that taxes touch every corner of financial planning. That’s why our approach emphasizes strategic tax allocation across investment accounts, ensuring portfolios are optimized to minimize the long-term drag of taxation on returns.
Our portfolios are actively managed in-house, built from the ground up after careful market and securities analysis.
Each portfolio is specifically tailored to reflect the client’s unique goals, optimal tax allocation, and risk tolerance. Our philosophy is that each client has a unique allocation, and one size never fits all.
We take the time to understand our clients’ full financial lives, offering comprehensive advice across:
· Retirement planning
· Tax planning
· Investment management
As an independent fee-only firm, we do not and will not sell financial or insurance products, nor do we accept commissions or third-party compensation. We are—and always will be—a 100% fiduciary firm, fully transparent and unwavering in our commitment to act in our clients’ best interests.
Our investment philosophy centers on Value Investing, focusing on creating balanced, high-quality, low-fee, and tax-efficient portfolios. We carefully analyze financial statements to select high-quality, publicly traded stocks, investment-grade bonds, and various ETFs. Our portfolios are designed to mitigate risk with downside protection
Our investment philosophy centers on Value Investing, focusing on creating balanced, high-quality, low-fee, and tax-efficient portfolios. We carefully analyze financial statements to select high-quality, publicly traded stocks, investment-grade bonds, and various ETFs. Our portfolios are designed to mitigate risk with downside protection and prioritizing tax planning in investment selection and allocation. All client accounts are individually owned and securely held at Charles Schwab & Co. Inc.
Annette, the founder and CEO of the firm, has over 35 years of experience in accounting, tax, financial planning, and investing. She holds two of the top three financial designations—CPA and CFP®—along with the PFS™ (Personal Financial Specialist) designation from the AICPA.
Her unique blend of education and expertise provides a strong foundation to guide clients in achieving effective tax efficiency and planning. With her skills in financial planning, tax planning, and investment management, she creates a seamless connection between all aspects of her clients' financial lives.
We are a fully fiduciary firm committed to upholding the highest standards of a CPA. A fiduciary is legally and ethically obligated to act in your best interest, receiving no compensation from third parties—only directly from clients differing from fee-based advisors who are compensated by third parties for products like mutual funds, annuities, and other commission-based offerings.
We don‘t receive any commissions. As a Fee-Only Independent Registered Investment Advisor, all our compensation comes solely from our clients. We have no ties to brokers, insurance, annuity, or fund companies. Unlike Fee-Based advisors, who may charge fees on some accounts while earning commissions from brokers, funds, or insurance companies on other accounts, we operate with complete transparency. As a fee-only advisor, there are no hidden charges, third-party bonuses, or sales of any financial or insurance products. Our in-house portfolio construction ensures unbiased investment selection, resulting in high-quality, low-cost, and fully transparent portfolios.
