He leads a team of strong performers who work in concert to advance client objectives in multiple areas, including customized credit, banking, intergenerational wealth transfer, gifting and investment management.
Clients from diverse paths engage Bari's assistance. Many are business owners who have built their enterprises from the ground up.

For these clients and others, Bari looks to unify strategy, execution and service, smoothing the path forward toward their priorities and intentions. He hand-selects a team of dedicated specialists for each client's situation, providing an additional layer of perspective, insight, and acumen.
