Why benefits consulting and wealth advisory?

Both disciplines operate on sound advice. 

Belay Advisory started as a working relationship between John Goode and Peter Liden in 1989.  Still at the helm of the company, John is an expert in benefits consulting and Peter is an expert in wealth advisory.  They were united on their belief that sound advice is a sure way to get results.

John and Peter also know that people are most apt to take advice when they have complete confidence in their advisor.  Confidence that is earned by working with integrity, demonstrating expertise, and leveraging experience for optimum results.

John and Peter built Belay Advisory on confidence. They built its reputation on client satisfaction.
