My name is Christopher W. Arthur. I am thankful to my existing clients who have helped me identify what they want in an advisor and have helped me raise expectations and service to the level they deserve. I am dedicated to helping my clients achieve their goals for retirement and helping them transition their wealth to their beneficiaries and beyond.
At Ascent Advisory Solutions, we have a fiduciary responsibility to our clients at all times. We are paid an asset-based fee, so our interests are aligned with our clients. We take time to understand financial situations, no matter the complexity, and draw on decades of experience to provide personalized advice. Further, we network with experts in numerous disciplines, enabling us to offer custom solutions that make sense today and regularly reassess whether arrangements are geared to stand the test of time.
It is an honor and privilege to be selected to play such an important role in your life. It is a responsibility we must honor because it results from the most important financial decision a client may make. It is also a responsibility that we accept willingly and dedicate our careers to properly carrying out.

I’ve also worked with United Planners Financial Services, Cambridge Investment Research, INC., and Stonefield Investment Advisory, INC.
