Company History

After long careers in a national bank's wealth management group, the founders of the company, Rick Thoreson, CFA, and Kelly Steffes, JD, sought to create a client-focused firm whose sole mission was to serve the needs of individuals and families. T&S Investments, LLC was founded as a registered investment advisor, and in 2013, Thoreson Steffes Trust Company was chartered to add trust administration and fiduciary services beyond the scope of an RIA and most family offices. The company manages over $600 million in public securities, farmland, real estate, private equity, and venture capital funds for roughly 100 client relationships.

Benefits

We offer a company-funded SEP retirement plan, an annual company HSA contribution, and paid parking. The company also provides employees with an opportunity to direct a portion of the company's annual giving to causes of their choice. We occupy premium office space, including a private office for each advisor, a large conference room with both formal and informal meeting spaces, an outdoor terrace, and a second smaller conference room.
