Sarah Catherine Gutierrez

Founder, Partner and CEO

I started this company with a vision that all people should have access to an advisor on their own terms with no conflicts of interest in their own money. A path that started with a simple hourly fee very quickly transitioned to a company and a philosophy that I am proud of. My true joy comes from my family. My husband, Jorge, and I agree that there is nothing cooler than each other and our three kids Marco, Max and Lucia. Early in our marriage we discovered the power of living below our means, namely that it allowed us to “buy” time as a family. And now we live the life of an Aptus client--on our own terms.
