About Richard Dougherty

At Echelon Wealth Advisor, clients interests are our priority. We know that clients entrust us with more than money; you trust us with your family's financial future. With that comes the responsibility to listen, always put your interests first, and provide you with the tools and resources to acheive your objectives.

We help our clients answer life's most important questions:

Will you have enough money to live independently for the rest of your life?

Do you understand how much retirement will cost and are you on track to meet your goals?

How do you efficiently leave your money to your family and not to the government?

We recognize there are no shortcuts in acheiving our clients objectives. By implementing consistent processes in everything we do, Echelon is committed to providing great value.
