We are credentialed.

Our team has earned some of the most recognizable credentials in the financial planning and investment management industries. We stay up on trends and developments with ongoing continuing education.

Johnson Bixby is committed to life-long learning and the continual enhancement of our skills to better serve our clients.

What is a CFP®?
What is a CFA®?
What is a FPQP?

We are a fiduciary.

That means we do what’s best for you. You can count on placing the utmost trust and confidence in us as your financial advisors. We provide you with the highest standard of care in return.

Not only are we compelled to do this as a firm; we are obligated to act solely in your interests by law.

We are a fee-based firm.

We set fees for services based on your level of assets and the complexity or simplicity of your financial situation. We can speak to this more specifically once we understand your unique situation.

As you compare your options for financial advice, planning and portfolio management, it’s important for you to understand what you’re paying for and why.

We are independent.

We are a Registered Investment Advisory owned by a single owner, Heidi Johnson Bixby, not by a larger financial institution. We aren’t bound by outside interests and aren’t limited in what kinds of financial products or services we can recommend. That means you receive advice tailored to your situation.

Why work with us?

Make more informed decisions.

At Johnson Bixby, we help our clients make informed decisions to navigate life’s many turns and reach their goals using a comprehensive approach to financial planning and portfolio management.

See what’s possible.

We are experts who use our technical knowledge and care to help people see what’s possible in life. That’s what makes us different: expertise and empathy. We hear what’s not being said. We surface the questions you’re not asking but should be. All in service to helping you live your best life.

Take the long view.

We are consistent about being proactive not reactive. And it’s our steady, patient approach to financial planning and investment strategy that works well for the individuals and families who partner with us.
