About Buff Dormeier

Kingsview Partners is an independent fiduciary advisory firm catering to a discerning investor who understands the value of a comprehensive financial solution. Our innovative, curated approach to investing features a team of experts working in lockstep and combining personalized attention to detail with a broad-ranging menu of services and cutting-edge technology.

It goes without saying that an investor's specific needs should always be their advisor's foremost concern. However, the problem with some Wealth Management is that registration, regulation, compensation and affiliation determine what clients are sold. As an independent fiduciary advisor, Kingsview Wealth Managers adhere to the fiduciary oath, which places the client's interests above all else. Our transparent, no-nonsense approach ensures investors are treated like peers, not pawns.
