The Emerald Story
Emerald Advisors was formed in 2019 by Michael Smith and his team at The Smith Group who believed there was a more transparent way to serve clients. They had been part of Merrill Lynch, where Mike and his staff focused on serving Costco employees for over a decade. Today Emerald Advisors is an independent, full-service SEC Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) firm that ensures clients feel personally cared for, seen and heard while working towards their long-term financial success.
“Our mission in life is to make a positive difference not to prove how smart or right we are.”
— Peter F. Drucker
