ARQ Wealth Advisors

ARQ Wealth Advisors is a fee-only wealth management firm that works with high-net-worth individuals, business owners, retirees and pre-retirees, physicians, and professional athletes. Its services cover financial planning, retirement income planning, investment management, tax planning, and estate planning, with proprietary offerings such as Wealth Apex and Wealth Builder.

The firm says it keeps a low client-to-advisor ratio, with each advisor serving roughly 70 to 80 clients, and that it is compensated directly by clients rather than through commissions. New clients can start with a free consultation, which can be requested through the website. ARQ is based in Scottsdale and says it serves clients in dozens of states.
