Words by
Grant Whitmore

Grant spent 26 years managing money for Phoenix-area families at two major institutions, watching several generations of Arizona wealth being built, spent, fought over, and occasionally wasted. He left because he was tired of saying careful things. He writes about money the way a frank friend does when they are done being politic. He already knows what your accountant is going to tell you. He is here to say what your accountant will not.
