Sacramento financial advisor

Why did you decide to move to a fully independent model?

We have decided to become independent for many reasons, the most central of which is you, our client. Because we are no longer employees of a large brokerage firm, we are no longer obliged to prioritize the interests of our employer over those of our clients. We are confident that we can serve your needs much more effectively as an independent firm.

Over the last ten years, the technology available to independent firms has far surpassed earlier financial tools. Access to these advances enables us at Towerpoint Wealth to serve our clients with a wider and more advanced spectrum of worldwide, cutting-edge resources, eclipsing our previous capabilities. This open-architecture model frees us from the legacy systems to which we were previously captive, allowing us to leverage innovative technology on your behalf. Simply put, we believe this work environment minimizes conflicts between us and the needs of our clients. As Sacramento Independent financial advisors, we now work for ourselves, serving solely our clients and helping them improve their financial lives through integrated, transparent and more personalized solutions. Independent financial advisors >

What services do you provide, exactly?

Towerpoint Wealth seeks to provide clients financial peace of mind. The peace of mind from knowing their finances are properly coordinated and on the right track. Simply put, our Sacramento Financial Advisors help our clients make better financial decisions and take full advantage of the opportunities available to them.

Towerpoint Wealth, boutique investment firm in Sacramento, clients leverage the myriad of wealth management services we offer, with the singular focus of achieving, and then maintaining, their financial independence, allowing them to live a better life while not worrying about money. Sacramento Wealth Management >

What is your approach to helping Towerpoint Wealth clients?

Towerpoint Wealth, Sacramento financial planner, believes that money, in the purest sense of its form, is just a means to an end. And while having enough forms the cornerstone in helping clients achieve, and then maintain, the peace of mind that goes along with being financially independent, we firmly believe in a consultative process that begins with getting to know and learn about you, our client: your hopes, dreams, background, fears, motivations, and vision you have of your and your family’s future.

In other words, our Sacramento Financial Advisors sincerely want to know what makes you tick. Towerpoint Wealth Philosophy & Strategy >

Are you legally a fiduciary for your clients?

Yes. We are a legal fiduciary for our clients. In the investment field, there are two types of primary parties who are able to offer investment advice regarding securities to individuals, as well as to institutional clients such as pension funds, non-profit organizations and corporations. These parties are ^1.) investment advisors and ^2.) investment brokers who work for brokers-dealer.

Many clients may consider the investment advice they receive from each party as similar, but there is a key difference that may not be completely understood by the investing public. The difference pertains to two competing standards that advisors and brokers must adhere to, and the distinction has important implications for individuals who hire outside financial assistance.

Very professional, client centered, comprehensive financial fiduciary. We feel very comfortable with their management of our investments and their commitment to our total financial health. Not only do they manage our investments, they coordinate with our accountant and lawyer about our taxes and trust, respectively, to ensure that our investments fit into a comprehensive and secure financial plan.

Joseph has been our financial advisor for several years. We enthusiastically followed him when he launched Towerpoint Wealth. We appreciate Joseph's perspective, balanced views, and shared options regarding investment strategies. Perhaps more important is Joseph's commitment to helping us reach our financial goals and his honed listening skills. We appreciate the service from Joseph and his responsive team and look forward to many more years of our partnership with Towerpoint.

Being a part of TowerPoint Wealth since it began has been so exciting. And I can’t say enough about Joseph and the entire team. I retired 6 years ago and my wife and I needed someone to help us assure we be ok throughout our retirement years. I retired early at the age of 60 and didn’t want to end up without any money in the future. I have confidence in the entire TowerPoint team and their financial prowess. As my wife and I enjoy our retirement together and the travel and family time together with our kids, we are very blessed to have TowerPoint beside us every step of the way.

We joined Joseph and his group at the recommendation of friends ( clients) I was going through the death of both my parents and Joseph helped me steer the ship. He’s been wonderful to work with, explaining when I needed help and always keeping in mind my goals. I would highly recommend his firm!

In Towerpoint Wealths current newsletter, the discussion focused on “Will $2million be enough to retire on”. As the newsletter states, “depends”I always thought a millionaire was a very rich person certainly not a goal I could ever attain .My parents, who raised 6 children, could never have envisioned that kind of retirement comfort.We did not begin our retirement savings until our mid 40’s when we met Joseph. We have achieved that $2 million goal thanks to Joseph’s guidance and the team at Towerpoint. We made sure our daughter understood the importance of starting that plan early and at 15 opened her Roth with Joseph. I do not worry about her future. I am grateful for the guidance and patience I receive from my advisor and “therapist” .I encourage you to read the entire newsletter. It prompted my response of confidenceHappy Holidays to all and may you live in comfort in your retirement

Joseph has provided us with expert financial guidance for over 15 years, starting several years prior to retirement and all the way through today. I trust his judgement unequivocally. He has always taken the time to throughly explain his strategy, and make sure we're in total alignment. Now with TPW, he has built a skilled staff of professionals to handle an expanded array of issues. He keeps in touch during the year via check ins, does in depth annual reviews, and is always immediatley responsive to our needs. We couldn't be more comfortable with anyone looking after our financial interests.

Our wonderful friendship & financial guidance relationship with Joseph Eschleman began 18 years ago, long before he formed Towerpoint Wealth. His personal integrity is as important to us as his excellent portfolio advice. He guided us during many family & professional milestones that led us to a secure retirement. He surrounds himself with colleagues of similar integrity & skill, important factors for us. He takes into account issues we care about, including climate change, social justice & corporate responsibility. Bravo, Joseph & Towerpoint!

We were looking for a new financial advisor after feeling like a number and receiving very poor customer service from one of the very large financial institutions. Someone suggested we check out Tower Point. After doing some research and interviewing Joseph, Steve and Michelle, we made the switch. I am so glad we did! They are so responsive and attentive. We are treated with respect. They answer our questions so that I can understand them. We are so glad we made the switch!

We have benefitted from the services provided by Towerpoint Wealth since Joseph started the company in 2017. Joseph had been our financial advisor for well over 10 years by then and my wife and I were already accustomed to and very comfortable with his well thought-out guidance, service, responsiveness and expertise. Most importantly Joseph, with the entire Towepoint team, understands our goals, risk tolerance and specific ethical investing values, and continually monitors and executes our customized financial plan to keep us solidly on track.

Eric Schroeder

22:44 20 Aug 21

We have trusted Joseph with our financial future for over 14 years. Given his track record with our investments we had no qualms about continuing on with him as he started Towerpoint Wealth. He surrounds himself with a staff that is extremely responsive and accommodating as well as endearing. The other professionals there add expertise and value that creates a full service experience. If there is something that you are interested in they will get you the materials, information or people to provide you with an educated decision. Advice is always prominent but never forced. They make you feel like part of a friendship and not a profit piece. Investing toward peace of mind is always somewhat stressful. They take the stress away. That is something we can all use in these times.

Kevin Mahoney

I have been associated with Joseph Eschleman for approximately 20 years. My experience with Joseph has been that he excels at making our relationship both professional and personal. Joseph and TowerPoint have exceeded my expectations. His manner is is very business-like, yet he has taken the time to get to know my wife and I on a more personal level.Joseph takes the time to explain our current status and ensures that we understand every transaction, the reasons why he is recommending the trans action and that we are in agreement with every decision made on our behalf. We have total confidence in Joseph and TowerPoint.I highly recommend Joseph Eschleman and TowerPoint.Kevin Mahoney

We’ve been clients of Joe Eschleman for almost 20 years and are so grateful for the association. The team he has assembled at Towerpoint is fantastic and has always been quick to answer our questions and address any concerns. We have watched our accounts grow nicely over the years and put us in position to proceed with our retirement plans. Joe and his team have a great ability to explain complicated issues so that we are able to easily understand what is going on. That’s our professional assessment— our personal assessment of Joe and his team is equally positive. Joe sets the tone and everyone at Towerpoint follows his example of being caring, considerate, and thoughtful. While I have several regrets looking back over the last 20 years I have no regrets when it comes to trusting Towerpoint to set up our financial path.

Joseph was our financial planner for many years prior to his starting Towerpoint Wealth and has continued in that role since. We greatly appreciated his expertise and guidance as we worked towards retirement. He also provided solid advice and direction on managing our 401K funds before rolling them into IRAs. His management along the way has allowed us to enjoy our retirement with confidence. Joseph has filled Towerpoint Wealth with quality and knowledgeable staff who have provided timely assistance for our transition to retirement and in purchasing our retirement home. We credit Joseph and Towerpoint Wealth for helping us stay steady and focused when it comes to our financial well-being.

About 20 years ago I inherited a substantial portfolio from my father‘s estate. I knew I would need some help managing these accounts. Shortly there after I got a call from Joe Eschleman. While I don’t accept cold calls as a rule, something about his approach appealed to me, so I agreed to meet with him.It was one of the best financial decisions I’ve ever made.After listening to my thoughts and concerns, Joe proposed a strategy that was fairly conservative, in keeping with my wishes, but still had room for growth. I signed him up, and have never regretted doing so. Through all the years since then and all the vagaries of the economy in the markets, Joe has guided my investments with a sure hand and steady results. He has always kept me informed and up-to-date on where we stand, and been quick to respond to any questions or concerns I might have.The team at Towerpoint is always available, and I feel that we have a true partnership, not just a business relationship. I trust them all completely.I would recommend Joe and his team to anyone wanting help with their wealth management. It has been a very fruitful 20 years.Cres Gilbert and Natalie Thiele

I've been a client of Towerpoint Wealth from its inception. I had worked with Joseph Eschleman before he started his own financial advisory firm and had felt confident in his advise not only for my mother, while she was alive, but also for me after my Mom passed away. Joseph is extremely professional and very responsive to his clients. He is an excellent listener and always has his client's best interest when suggesting investment strategies. He has grown his firm to include a variety of specialists that are equally committed to helping clients achieve their financial goals.
