Our History

Telemus was founded in 2005 as an independent, fee-based firm that offers comprehensive financial advisory, investment management and asset management solutions. Telemus was created with the belief that our clients deserve a more imaginative approach than what was available from traditional firms. Our founders shared a strong conviction that there was a better way to meet client needs.

Telemus became a partner firm of Focus Financial Partners (“Focus”) in 2013. Focus is a leading partnership of independent, fiduciary wealth management firms. Focus provides superior access to best practices, resources and continuity planning for its partner firms who service individuals, families, employers and institutions with wealth management, benefit and investment consulting services. Focus partner firms maintain their entrepreneurial independence, while they benefit from the synergies, scale, economics and best practices of the market leader to achieve their business objectives.
