BC&I uses SII Investments, Inc., an independent Broker/Dealer, and specializes in corporate retirement and 401(k) plans and individual wealth management with over $120 million assets under management.

BC&I Wealth Management is pleased to announce the addition of Barry Minsker, CFP® to our firm.

Barry currently manages over $15 million in assets and will transition his clients to BC&I. Our firm is looking to the future as our current clients enter retirement.
