About Bluestone Wealth Advisors

Bluestone Wealth Advisors has a foundation that has been built upon by our team's 20 years of combined experience. In naming our practice, we desired to have a name that represents our ties to Nebraska and the Midwest.

The Bluestone (Blue Agate) is the Nebraska state gemstone. This signifies our foundational ties to Nebraska. Although we serve clients in many states across the country, our core business is in helping people from across the state of Nebraska.

The Wealth in our name signifies our desire to help our clients build prosperity over the long term, and to be able to pursue their most important aspirations.

The Bluestone logo represents our focus of empowering our clients through our financial planning process centered around them and their goals. To our team this is the foundation of why we do what we do.
