About US
One Advisor. The Whole Picture.
WHY TRUE NORTH
A Financial Advisor Who Speaks Tax Fluently
Most people have a financial advisor and an accountant — two professionals making decisions that directly affect each other, but who almost never talk. It’s a gap that costs people real money, and most don’t see it until it’s too late.
True North Wealth Management bridges that gap. Tax and investments under one roof, managed by one advisor. No blind spots. No translation needed.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
The Principles That Guide Every Decision
Our name says it all. Every conversation, every plan, and every recommendation we make comes back to the same question: does this move you closer to where you want to be?
Your Plan Should Outlive the Meeting
A financial plan that lives in a drawer isn’t a plan, it’s a souvenir. We build goal-based roadmaps that evolve as your life does.
Steady Beats Flashy
We’re not chasing trends or timing the market. Our focus is on thoughtful, tax-efficient strategy designed to make your money last.
You Deserve the Full Picture
No hidden fees, surprises or jargon. We show you exactly where your money is, where it’s going, and what every recommendation will cost before we act on it.
good questions to ask
What You Should Know Before Choosing an Advisor
What does it mean that Mark is both a CPA and a financial advisor?
The person managing your investments is the same person planning your tax strategy. Most advisors can’t legally advise on taxes, and most accountants don’t manage money. Mark does both, so your financial decisions are never made in a vacuum.
What does an ongoing advisory relationship look like?
After an initial discovery call and the creation of your Asset Map — a one-page snapshot of your full financial picture — we meet quarterly to review, adjust, and plan ahead. In between, you’ll get a monthly resource covering topics like required minimum distributions, insurance gaps, or retirement timing, so nothing gets overlooked.
Is True North the right fit for me?
We work best with Alaskans who are within striking distance of retirement and want a hands-on advisor for the long haul. If you’re serious about making your money last, keeping your tax burden low, and having someone in your corner year-round, we should talk.
What is a fiduciary, and is True North one?
A fiduciary is legally required to act in your best interest. As a registered investment advisor, Mark operates under a fiduciary standard. Every recommendation is made with your goals first, full stop.
