Your Journey, Our Process
You are “here,” but you want to get “there,” and you recognize there may be hazards and unforeseen challenges along the way. Our role is to help you navigate from “here to there” in your financial journey. We begin with careful listening.
Step 1:
The initial conversation is to understand your personal financial concerns and determine how we can add value.
Step 2:
We analyze your current financial situation in light of where you’ve told us you want to be and against your financial concerns.
Step 3:
We then identify and present solutions that help propel results towards your goals, and we create a plan of actionable steps you can begin today.
Step 4:
Our ongoing monitoring and measurement of progress towards your goals is reviewed with you so you know where you are, which direction you are headed, how close—or far away—the milestone may still be, and to adjust to changing conditions or newly presented opportunities.
Step 5:
Financial well-being is often a journey, not just a destination. We are here for you, your family, your business partners, your employees, whoever is part of your journey!

Philanthropic Event: There With Care Visit #2
The minute we walked out of There With Care in October 2024, we made it a priority to return!
There With Care, a local non-profit organization, provides essential items to approximately 1,000 families per year in Colorado who are caring for critically ill children. This help allows families to focus on the most important goal: their child's well-being during challenging times!
There With Care delivers not only a high level of care, comfort, and compassion, but also, through donations from community members, delivers practical items that help make day-to-day living less stressful.
In April 2025, we returned to There With Care. Below are some of the items we provided—infant care items, car seats, easy-prep meals, restaurant gift cards, cleaning supplies. Although we will not know the recipient families, we hope they know that we are there with care as well.
Philanthropic Event: There With Care
Our Team values family, and we are committed to the well-being of our clients' families and the families in our community.
In October, we visited There With Care, an organization providing essential support to families with children facing critical illness. Our donations of food, gift cards, newborn care items, car seats, and toys help ease the stresses that families encounter when caring for an ill child.
The Boulder, Colorado, office of There With Care serves approximately 1000 families a year, providing assistance with:
- Patient and Family Essentials – Assists with basic needs of family members by providing clothing, strollers and cribs, activity bags, books, toys and games, toiletry items, and access to both family and individual counseling.
- Housing Stability – Assists with a family's household so it is clean and safe for their child's return home; provides cleaning products and other household supplies.
- Transportation - Assists the family with reliable transportation to and from treatments, school, and activities, visits with their child at the hospital if inpatient, and maintaining their vehicle for travel.
- Food Security – Helps ensure a family's access to warm, nutritious, and easily prepared meals with grocery deliveries, Easy Meal Care Bags, and restaurant gift cards.
Philanthropic Event: Longmont Humane Society
We made another visit in April 2024 to our furry friends at the Longmont Humane Society with much needed supplies of pet food, bedding, paper towels, chew toys, cleaning supplies, and office supplies. Flapjack, Meatball, and Beefus (some of the shelter dogs) greeted us with barks of enthusiasm, while Maisie and Plato (a couple of the cats) remained pretty stoic. Our Guinea Pig friends Krumb and Sparrow were napping at the time.
The Longmont Humane Society has been housing and caring for abandoned, surrendered, and non-housed pets since 1972. The center cares for more than 4,000 animals yearly, and over 98% of these animals are adopted into their "fur-ever" homes. We are happy to help support this organization and to know that we are part of providing care for these animals.
Spreading Christmas Cheer
Rob McAllister Sr helped ensure a special 2023 Christmas holiday for an entire family! He volunteered to shop for the family's holiday wish list and wrap the gifts for them. The family was one of many selected from Crawford Elementary School in Aurora, Colorado, whose student body represents more than 33 different countries!
Philanthropic Event: Community Food Share
The Boulder Legacy Group made a special delivery in November to our local food bank "Community Food Share," which serves both Boulder and Broomfield counties in Colorado. We want to help families and agencies serving these counties have access to nutritious meals. The Community Food Share has been collecting and distributing food to help fight hunger for over 40 years. They have both on-site food distribution and a Mobile Pantry Truck to deliver foods when transportation is an issue. Community Food Share distributes more than 10 million pounds a year to agencies, families, seniors, and individuals. Our food delivery weighed 267 pounds, and we are happy to have made a difference for families in our community!
Donor Advised Funds: A Smart Way to Manage Your Giving
There's more to charitable giving than you may realize. Here's one method that may be tax-efficient and can help maximize your impact.
- Donations to a donor advised fund (DAF) are eligible for a US federal income tax deduction and, once invested, can potentially grow, tax-free.
- Donating to a DAF may be useful in years when you are seeking a charitable deduction but want more time to finalize a giving strategy.
- Certain DAFs may allow you to donate complex assets, including cryptocurrency, shares of privately held companies, real estate, art or automobiles.

Bill has spent his entire career with the Morgan Stanley family, having joined the firm in 1995. Over this period, he has built a successful business of wealth management and investment advice to individuals, families and non-profits in Colorado and across the country.

As one of the team’s senior partners, Bill is responsible for helping shape the group’s strategic vision. He focuses on wealth management and helping guide clients with growth and preservation of assets.
