About David Javaheri
Wealth management is the only business Dave has ever known. As the team’s founder and a Family Wealth Director, Dave focuses on helping clients create a carefully coordinated wealth strategy to navigate the complex multi-generational challenges of managing significant wealth. In addition, he oversees interactions with external tax and estate advisors to deliver a collaborative and unified strategy. This helps ensure that each client’s tax-minimization, philanthropic and estate planning goals are reflected in the wealth management process.
“We are proud of the many distinctions the team has earned because they reflect the skills and commitment of our advisors and the quality of our work. But the real reward is the satisfaction of our clients – demonstrated by relationships that span two, three and even four generations.”
Dave’s commitment to his craft is highlighted through numerous recognitions from Forbes Best-In-State, Barron’s Top 1200, and Financial Times Top 400 Financial Advisors. He also achieved the advanced designation of Certified Investment Management Analyst (CIMA) from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
Dave attended Castleton State College, earning degrees in both in Finance and Economics. Dave and his wife, Stephanie, currently live in Dover, MA with their three children. Outside of the office, he enjoys all things outdoors – mountain and road biking, hiking, snowboarding, surfing and skimboarding.
