How We Work

Understand your goals

We begin with your priorities, your timeline, and what you want your resources to support.

Design the plan

Investment, tax, and estate considerations are organized into a strategy built around your circumstances.

Guide decisions over time

As life and markets change, we revisit the plan thoughtfully and keep decisions anchored to your long-term goals.

How We're Different

Four things worth checking about any adviser. Here is how we answer each one, conflicts included.

Fiduciary Standard

When we act as your investment adviser, we must act in your best interest and not put our interests ahead of yours. That includes telling you about material conflicts of interest.

Fee-Only

Clients pay us directly for advice, and we do not sell securities for a commission. A fee based on assets is still a conflict, because we earn more as an account grows. Our Form ADV describes it along with our other conflicts.

Independent

The firm is owned by its president, not by a bank, brokerage, or insurance company. Crawshaw CPAs is an affiliated accounting firm that our president co-owns. Using it is optional and billed separately, and the common ownership is a conflict we disclose.

SEC Registered

The William Allan Corporation is an investment adviser registered with the SEC. Registration does not imply a certain level of skill or training. Our filings and any disciplinary history are public.

Being fee-only and fiduciary is designed to reduce conflicts of interest, but it does not guarantee better outcomes. All investment strategies involve risk, including the possible loss of principal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is William Allan a fee-only financial advisor?

Yes. William Allan is a fee-only, fiduciary wealth management firm. We do not sell securities for a commission, and clients pay us directly for advice. This compensation structure is designed to reduce conflicts of interest, not to remove every one, and all recommendations should still be evaluated in light of your specific goals, risk tolerance, and circumstances.

What investment strategy does William Allan use?

William Allan often uses individual securities as part of portfolio construction for certain clients, alongside tax-aware planning and disciplined long-term decision-making. Portfolio design depends on each client's objectives, risk tolerance, account type, and need for diversification.

What services does William Allan offer?

William Allan provides fee-only, fiduciary portfolio management and coordinates estate planning with qualified attorneys. Tax planning and preparation are provided by Crawshaw CPAs, the firm's affiliated CPA practice, under a separate agreement and fee.

What is a fiduciary financial advisor?

When providing advisory services within the agreed scope of the relationship, an investment adviser owes clients duties of care and loyalty. William Allan must disclose material conflicts and cannot place its own interests ahead of a client's interests. The applicable obligations and scope are described in the advisory agreement, Form ADV, and Form CRS.

How do you manage investment risk?

We manage risk through security selection, diversification, liquidity awareness, and a long-term approach rooted in discipline rather than reaction. Market losses and volatility can still occur, and no investment approach can eliminate risk.
