Altara Wealth Launches as $1B+ Independent Advisory Enterprise
Boston, MA — Altara Wealth officially launches as the unified enterprise of Boston Wealth Strategies and SullivanKreiss Financial, bringing together more than 30 years of experience, a team of 20+ professionals, and over $1 billion in assets under advisement (as of 03/31/2025) into a modern, scalable advisory firm built for long-term client impact.
The name Altara echoes the Latin root alta, meaning high or elevated, suggesting clarity from a broader vantage point. It’s human and memorable, built to evolve over time.

Altara Wealth is led by a seasoned, credentialed leadership team supported by a deep bench of planning, investment, and operations professionals. The firm includes 10 CFP® professionals, a dedicated investment research division, and a comprehensive operations and analytics platform.
“Altara Wealth brings together two firms committed to helping clients understand where they are today and confidently plan for their future,” said Patrick Hinton, CFP®, ChFC®, CLU®, AIF®. “I’m especially excited for the next generation of planners who will help lead our firm and support families for years ahead.”
Altara Wealth offers comprehensive, process-driven financial planning across all areas of a client’s financial life, supported by a CIO-led investment team responsible for research, portfolio construction, due diligence, and ongoing oversight.
