What we do

We act as a Fiduciary, providing personalized financial advice and investment management for families, individuals, and nonprofit endowments & foundations.

How we do it

We provide top-tier service and utilize industry leading technology to help our clients better understand their financial picture, and have more confidence in their decisions.

Why we’re different

Fiercely Independent

Other financial advisory firms incentivize their advisors to add more products and more revenue to client relationships, often at your expense. We don’t have that conflict as we are not beholden to any external stakeholders.

Adaptive & Nimble

Legacy advisory firms are too entrenched in their existing systems and processes, and serve too many stakeholders to adapt to the ever evolving landscape of wealth management. They simply can’t change quickly enough to meet the service, planning, and technology needs of today’s clients.

Technologically Advanced

Innovative technology can drive better outcomes, create seamless experiences, and enhance client understanding.

About Me

Dan founded AWX Financial after working at multiple large investment firms for more than 15 years including Vanguard, Mercer, OppenheimerFunds, Oppenheimer & Co., Inc., and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC). He most recently managed more than $1 billion for numerous nonprofit endowments and foundations.

In his journey working for various financial firms, Dan struggled to understand how such large institutions could fall short in their technology, service, and resources. He founded AWX on the idea that the largest firms were not providing the level of technology or flexibility that clients need and deserve in today’s market environment.

Dan has always had a passion for personal finance and is happy to bring his institutional investing skillset to the individual investors and nonprofit communities.

In his spare time he enjoys spending time with his young family of 5. When time permits (rare these days!) you can find him skiing, biking, or golfing. He also is the board chair of High & Mighty Therapeutic Horseback Riding and Driving Center in Ghent, NY.
