The Practice

Built to serve the people most advisors aren’t built for.

DeMull Financial was founded in 2015 with a specific focus: business owners, tradespeople, professionals, and plan sponsors who needed a financial advisor that understood how they actually earn, operate, and build wealth.

Most financial advisors are great at managing investments. Fewer are built to connect your business finances, tax strategy, retirement design, and personal wealth into a single coordinated plan. That’s what we do.

We operate as a fee-based fiduciary — meaning our compensation is transparent, and we’re legally required to act in your best interest. Not a product we earn a commission on, not a fund company’s preferred list. Just your best interest.

Values

Three things that shape how we work with every client.

Knowledge
We invest continuously in our expertise — designations, continuing education, and staying current on tax law, retirement regulations, and investment research. You deserve an advisor who knows the landscape deeply.
Support
We’re not a phone tree. When you need something, you reach Sage directly. We build genuine, long-term relationships — not a book of clients we’re managing from a distance.
Integrity
Fee-based and fiduciary means we get paid for advice, not for selling you something. Our compensation structure eliminates conflicts of interest and keeps the relationship simple: we win when you win.
