About Us
Welcome to Kirk Capital Advisors! KIRK is a new breed of wealth management firm.
W. Kirk Taylor, CFP®, Founder and Chief Investment Officer
We derive great satisfaction from knowing that our clients are taken care of… just like close friends or beloved family.
Message from the Founder
In 2020, after more than three decades of advising client families, I founded KIRK because clients today demand more than sleek mobile apps and 24/7 access to their accounts. They demand transparency in all aspects of their relationship, along with conflict-free advice.
But more than anything else, investors want their advisors to have a deep understanding of the needs of their entire family. In short, they want personalized service and not mass customization.
We are passionate about offering a client experience that far exceeds what is offered at traditional “big box” banks and brokerage firms. To that end, we have developed the KIRK Confidence ExperienceSM — a disruptive approach to delivering wealth management services that puts the client squarely in control of their experience.
I have built a “best of breed” investment and financial platform that harnesses the most advanced technology and solutions available in the marketplace. Because computers don’t care, and people are what truly make the difference, I have assembled a team of highly qualified and seasoned professionals who are just as passionate as I am about making a meaningful and lasting contribution to your family’s financial well-being.
