Our Culture

Amiti Advising is an Austin based financial planning firm that is changing the world.  Well, maybe not the entire world, but we know we make a positive difference in the lives of our clients, business partners, and communities where we operate.

There are a few things that make Amiti Advising pretty unique.

Amity by definition is friendship or harmony between individuals or groups. Our relationship with our clients is just that.  We help you organize one of the most important aspects of your life, so why would it be anything less?

We didn’t know it at the time, but we were founded on the principals of social entrepreneurism and social responsibility:

  • We discovered that there was a 12 year gap between when people started their first job to when they had enough in assets to work with a traditional financial advisor. 12 years is a lot of time to make mistakes and miss opportunities. We needed to fill this gap.
  • We realized that for 95% of us our last personal finance class was around 1st grade when we learned to count money. We were never taught about credit cards, student loans, mortgages, insurance, 401(k)’s, taxes, and investing. We needed to teach these things.

Amiti Advising is changing the way our generation thinks and approaches personal finance. ‘Big Finance’ has been doing business the same way for over 40 years and has not adapted to a changing society. Lifestyle, jobs, and retirement are not like they used to be. Our modern process is designed for the adventure-seeking, tech-savvy young person. We’re not about suits, shiny buildings, and stocks.  We’re a laid back company that has a lot of fun working hard for you.  Our motto is Live Fun | Live Smart™. Being young and cool in this wild and crazy world is stressful.  We know what it’s like to balance a new career, a relationship, and a social life, so we give you the tools to help you live a fun, exciting life, while doing it in a financially responsible way.

We pride ourselves in being entirely transparent on how we operate. We are not associated with any investment or insurance company – it’s just not our style. Our recommendations are made with your best interest in mind – guaranteed. We are focused on providing you with proactive financial guidance in the beginning years of your professional life, so that you can eliminate those mistakes and take advantage of all your opportunities.

Our affordable rates and payment plans demonstrate our commitment to making quality, financial education, guidance, and support accessible to every household.  We do not require you to have a minimum of investable assets or a certain salary. That’s just plain silly to us.

Your feedback, ideas, and suggestions will be the catalyst that helps us redesign the financial services industry, so do not hesitate to ask us questions or give us your opinion.

Your finances are one of the most important aspects of your life. Get ahead of the game while you’re young and take control today or, as we like to say, Live for today | Save for tomorrow.
