Seattle financial advisors work with tech employees holding concentrated stock, founders after a sale and families planning around Washington’s capital gains and estate taxes. Seattle financial advisors can hand ITServices.Tech the whole IT workload as one managed service, covering staff support, protection from attacks, recoverable backups and budget planning.
Wealth built on stock
Much of the region’s wealth sits in shares of a few large employers. Advisors in downtown Seattle, Bellevue and Kirkland help clients diversify, plan around vesting schedules and handle the state’s capital gains tax and steep estate tax.
State and federal registration
Smaller investment advisers register with the Securities Division of Washington’s Department of Financial Institutions, larger ones with the SEC. Regulation S-P, as amended in 2024, now requires an incident response program, oversight of service providers and notice to affected customers. Your chief compliance officer owns the policies; we provide the technical safeguards and records.
Clients who know technology
Many clients work in software and security and ask sharp questions about how their data is protected. Passkeys or security keys on client portals, encryption everywhere and clear answers about vendors build trust.
Concentrated positions and data
Planning around stock grants means importing data from several brokerage and equity platforms. Secure connections, careful permissions and records of who changed what keep that data accurate.
Communication records
We capture the channels the firm approves, block unapproved messaging apps on firm devices and keep archives searchable for exams.

Washington data rules to know
Washington’s breach notification law, RCW 19.255.010, requires notice to affected residents within 30 days of discovering a breach, and to the Attorney General when more than 500 Washingtonians are affected. The My Health My Data Act adds rules for consumer health data.
