Our Values
We’re here to humanize the profession of wealth management and transform the impact of financial advice. We do this by:
We are New Skool by Nature.
Let’s face it. Our industry can be pretty old school – jargon-heavy, out of touch, analog, and big on silos. At Ficomm, we’re New Skool to the core. We prize authentic human connection over esoteric industry-speak, understand that digital-first is human-first, and know that marketing, PR, and community engagement tactics are all part of the same playbook.
Our glass is always half full.
We lead with positivity and gratitude because it leads to better outcomes (and it’s just a more fun way to live). There’s plenty in life and business that’s outside of our control, but we’re lucky to always have control over our attitude. So we choose to be cheery optimists who interpret situations with a positive mindset – and most of our clients are cut from the same cloth. Together, we work as energetic, collaborative teams that naturally turn challenges into opportunities.
Agility is our superpower.

We delight in joy and transformation.
By helping our clients align their vision and values across their organizations, we are the change-makers who create an open space for transformation that exceeds business goals… and transcends them. We are obsessed with designing moments that elicit joy, shock the system, and provide a fresh perspective.
We will crush it, then rest.
Yes, we’ll make it happen. We’ll push hard, persevere through inevitable road bumps, hit the goals, exceed expectations, and celebrate with you. After we celebrate, we rest (and encourage you to do the same). Passion and urgency are core to how we work, but never at a cost to our sanity and health. We normalize the importance of personal priorities and care, so that we can continue crushing it on the regular.
