What does this mean to our clients and community? As a Fiduciary, we are required to act on behalf of any person with the “highest standard of care,” trust, honesty, and loyalty. We have a legal obligation to act with our clients’ best interest in mind, and this comes naturally to us each and every day. This standard of excellence permeates our culture at CNC, where each employee is doing what is in the best interest of you, our clients.

Professional designations and certifications include Attorney, Accountant, Certified Financial Planner®, Accredited Investment Fiduciary®, Chartered Special Needs Consultant™, Accredited Asset Management Specialist®, Certified Divorce Financial Analyst®, and more. This enables us to deliver customized solutions to you through every phase of life.

CNB Wealth Management currently has 12 CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professionals with additional employees currently enrolled in the rigorous course work. Our team will work with you to develop and implement a personalized plan that will enable you to meet your goals now and in the future.

Trust and Estate

Our local trust and estate professionals have built strong connections with our legal community. Our team can lessen the burden of fulfilling the fiduciary responsibilities for your trust and estate plans, serving as trustee or executor on your behalf. Whether it’s for family, tax, or charitable planning, our goal is to provide you with peace of mind as you navigate through the often difficult process of ensuring your legacy plans are fulfilled.

Retirement Planning

For business owners and your employees, our Retirement Plan team has the knowledge to help you design a new plan to meet your needs or take over an existing plan. We strive to be a partner to our business owners, ensuring your employees are educated on the many benefits of contributing to a retirement plan.

Investment Philosophy

Our investment philosophy combines knowledge of the macro economic environment with a rigorous asset allocation and selection process. Our investment choices are driven by our Investment Committee, as opposed to any one advisor. This committee of experienced, credentialed people meets on a regular basis to oversee the asset allocation, individual assets (such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFS and third party managers), economic data, performance and investment policy for our clients and our firm. The team constructs and maintains diversified portfolios built to help you meet your long-term goals.

As we reflect on the past 100 years of trust powers, we know that none of this would be possible without you, our loyal clients, and the communities we serve. We are proud to have been named Best Wealth Management by the RBJ and Daily Record readers as well as Best Wealth Management of the Finger Lakes by the readers of the Daily Messenger. It’s our pleasure to provide premier financial services to the communities we serve and our greatest accomplishment is seeing you succeed.
