THE PERSONAL
CFO DIFFERENCE
For entrepreneurs, success begets more activity, new opportunities, greater responsibility.
And further success only amplifies the demands.
Eventually, it becomes difficult to lead the business AND oversee family finances.
That’s where Bluestone comes in.
Conflicts of interest are everywhere in finance. It’s even more difficult for entrepreneurs because they have a wide variety of assets and situations, making them more prone to conflicted advice. That’s why our services are offered on a fixed fee basis. We think it’s the best approach to mitigate conflicts and promote trust over time.
We are 100% owner operated. Clients pay a fixed monthly fee. There is no other compensation paid to Bluestone. Ever.
WE FOCUS ON FOUR KEY AREAS
QUALITY
NOT
QUANTITY
We purposefully limit the number of entrepreneurs we partner with so we can fulfill our mission of supporting each entrepreneur’s mission.
We form partnerships with a small number of highly accomplished, like-minded individuals.
PRICE IS WHAT YOU PAY;
VALUE IS WHAT YOU GET
We view business and investing as two sides of the same coin. In all cases, we adopt the approach of a long-term asset owner.
Price is what you pay; value is what you get.
This simple concept is at the heart of every business and investing transaction.
