Bring clarity and focus to your financial life.
Managing wealth is much more than deciding what investments to own. It’s about creating a strategy for your family’s financial future that targets your unique goals and objectives. At Labiak, Ficara & Associates, we are committed to assisting clients in simplifying their financial lives with strategies designed to help preserve, manage and grow wealth over time.
Our approach to wealth management is forward thinking and provides access to the global investing insights of Merrill Lynch Wealth Management and the banking convenience of Bank of America. That powerful combination allows us to access an extensive range of services and act with capabilities that can be tailored to and focused on your individual financial needs and goals.

Focus your vision: Strategies for your financial life
Our approach to wealth management focuses on your goals and financial outlook. We work closely with you to gain a clear understanding of your current finances, future goals and priorities. Then we combine a rigorous client assessment with advanced portfolio construction techniques to help you create financial strategies that become key parts of the pursuit of your financial objectives. These strategies take into consideration your risk tolerance, liquidity needs, time horizon, short- and long-term goals and tax minimization needs, going beyond the traditional labels of "conservative," "moderate" and "aggressive."
We utilize BofA Global Research, along with sophisticated modeling tools, to assess various investment scenarios. These scenarios may include predictable events, such as retirement or the sale of a business; as well as unpredictable events such as market conditions, changes in tax regulations, or the unexpected loss or disability of a primary income earner.
With your permission, we can work closely with other trusted professionals, such as your accountant or estate planning attorney, to help ensure that together we achieve the best possible outcome for you and your family. We encourage open and candid communication. Our goal is to build long-term relationships that can give clients deep, steadfast support spanning generations.
