Boneparth has helped his clients negotiate sales of businesses; establish legacies for future generations; purchase new homes; pay off debt and achieve financial independence. But while servicing the needs of his diverse book of business, he noticed a gaping hole in the financial services industry: financial planning and advice for Millennials, his peers. So while everyone else was chasing old money to invest, Douglas started finding young people to invest in. With a passion to improve the financial lives of those around him, Douglas founded Bone Fide Wealth, a firm dedicated to providing both effective and relatable advice to the city’s hardest working young professionals. Through his personal experiences with student debt, higher education, career development, professional achievement and entrepreneurship, Douglas shares a perspective that very few financial advisors in the industry can. Douglas then draws upon the real life examples of his firm’s clientele, offering financial solutions that are as creative as they are practical.
