Nearly two decades ago, Ms. Pippins founded Riverside Wealth Management, Inc. out of personal necessity. After earning an MBA and establishing a successful career as a strategic consultant at Accenture’s Chicago office, she found herself solely responsible for her family’s financial future following a difficult divorce. It was this personal challenge that reshaped her path.
Years earlier, her father, following a major liquidity event, had asked her to oversee the management of his diversified portfolio, which included investments in private equity, hedge funds, real estate, and funds with top managers. Despite working with esteemed advisors, Ms. Pippins discovered significant issues across his wealth plan, from investments to taxes and estate planning. Leveraging her strategic problem-solving skills, she set out to fix these problems, realizing that even the most successful families can face hidden challenges in managing their wealth.
This experience lit a spark. Ms. Pippins understood that if her well-informed father encountered such challenges, many other families must be experiencing the same. She then built a comprehensive wealth management infrastructure to safeguard her family’s future.
Today, as a highly sought-after investment advisor, Ms. Pippins and her team at Riverside Wealth Management, Inc. work exclusively with affluent families, professional athletes, and successful women. Their mission is simple: to help clients take control of their financial future with confidence and clarity, making smart, informed decisions that protect and grow their wealth.
