The Flint Hills Group

Our name is inspired by the strength and integrity of the Flint Hills in Kansas. This treasured grassland region provides sustenance for an ecosystem that dates back centuries.

Like the Flint Hills, our team's strengths are rooted in history. The origins of The Flint Hills Group date back to 1966 when Paul Attwater's father started our financial advisor practice. More than half a century later, we proudly serve clients who have been with us since the beginning. We now work with the 4th and 5th generations of some of the families we serve.

With over 100 years of combined experience in the industry, many families have entrusted us with helping to build and preserve their wealth. Why? Because we offer professional financial guidance and dedicated client care. We bring the experience of all of our clients to each of our clients. This means that we apply the deep insight acquired from decades of experience to your unique needs and concerns.

Whether you're facing challenges around planning for retirement, tax mitigation, philanthropy, saving for education, or establishing a family legacy, we offer tailored guidance geared toward you and your family. And like the Flint Hills, you can trust that we are here for the long term.
