25+ years. Fee-only. Veteran-founded.

Wealth Management for Families Who’ve Built Something Worth Protecting

Fee-only fiduciary advisors for high and ultra-high net worth clients across the Southeast.

Over time, most successful families build a network of trusted advisors. You have a CPA, an estate attorney, an investment account or three, insurance policies, perhaps a family office conversation that stalled. Plenty of professionals, but no one aligning with them.

That’s the gap BlueSky was built to close.

We take responsibility for the whole plan: one advisor accountable for how every piece fits, backed by a team of CFAs, CFPs, and CPAs whose job is to know your situation as well as you do.

Request your second opinion.

A short conversation with a fiduciary advisor. No sales pitch, no obligation, no commission.

Is Your Wealth Protected, Positioned,
and on Track?

Is Your Wealth Protected, Positioned, and on Track?

If you’re not certain that your current plan is doing everything it should, we’ll show you what’s working, what isn’t, and what’s been missed. The review is complimentary and confidential.

Are my concentrated stock positions being managed for tax drag and risk at the same time?
Do my trust structures still match the balance sheet they were written to govern?
Is my charitable giving keeping pace with current tax law?
Is my CPA actually talking to whoever manages my investments?
If the market dropped 30% tomorrow, would the plan still hold?

When the Stakes Are This High, the Margin for Error Is Small

As financial lives become more complex, so do the planning considerations that surround them.

Concentrated stock positions that need to be managed for tax drag and risk simultaneously. Trust structures built around assumptions that no longer hold. Multi-state tax exposure. Charitable giving strategies that haven’t kept pace with the latest law. Estate documents quietly mismatched to the balance sheet they were written to govern.

This is the everyday reality of significant wealth, and where small oversights become seven-figure mistakes.

BlueSky is built for this work. Our advisors are Certified Financial Planners, CPAs, and Chartered Financial Analysts who see how a charitable gift this year shapes your tax position, your estate, and your investments for years to come. We plan for the connections, not just the pieces, because one decision affects every other.

David L. Blain, CFA

Founder & CEO · Since 1999

Built on a Code Most of Wall Street Has Forgotten

BlueSky was founded by David Blain, CFA, a retired military officer who came to financial advising the long way around, through service, business ownership, and a discipline that shaped how he runs the firm to this day.

He built BlueSky on a standard he’d lived by his whole career: do the work, do it right, and put the mission ahead of yourself. The mission here is your financial future.

Twenty-five years later, that’s still how every advisor on our team works.

From the Clients We Serve

John G. and John S. have been very helpful by sharing the pros and cons of various strategies and approaches to financial decisions and then modeling the impact. This makes me much more confident I am making the best decisions possible.

Grimesland, NC, BlueSky client since 2017

One of the things I have appreciated most about BlueSky has been the tremendous communication and responsiveness of the team. In addition to their proactive scheduling of quarterly reviews, I have reached out many times over the years with questions and requests, and they have never failed to get back to me very rapidly with meaningful responses. They are a pleasure to work with.
