AFS Team Experience

 

Our senior staff is dedicated to you! We do not outsource. You receive the benefit of our education, knowledge and experience that provides you with the highest level of accounting expertise. For example, bookkeeping has nuances that need special attention. Does your bookkeeper know the difference between income and invasion of principal when coding an investment account distribution? Do they know what a taxable deduction to input is? AFS does and will ensure that your accounting is accurate and complete.

 

 

Sallie R. Klein

Sallie has over 25 years experience in the investment business and has worked on the broker/dealer side, with a Registered Investment Advisor, and in a Family Office. Her experience is primarily in client services and operations trading for high net worth individuals, all while overseeing compliance regulation.

 

Sallie began her career by obtaining her Series 7 and 63 licenses and working with high net worth clients for Kidder Peabody in Denver, Colorado. In 1998, Sallie moved to Aspen, Colorado to work with the CFO of a private family office. There she prepared overall performance and asset allocation of the family's assets based on entities and sectors. Additionally, she researched and analyzed potential equity purchases and prospective private equity investments.

 

Sallie moved back to Denver in 2000 where two principals of a small investment practice hired her to open and run their office under the Wheat Financial platform. At this time she obtained her compliance licenses. After this venture she was recruited by JP Morgan Private banking to trade on the self directed desk where the minimum net worth of a client was $25MM. She not only traded IPOs, restricted stock, and large block trades but also handled private investments and derivative strategies.

 

In late 2004, Sallie returned to Aspen to marry. For four years she worked at Obermeyer Asset Management Company where she was the Accounts and Compliance Manager for the Registered Investment Advisor. After leaving there in late 2009, she started AFS to help wealthy individuals, families and businesses manage their financial affairs.

 

Sallie has a Bachelor's Degree from University of Colorado, Boulder.
