Our client experience
is high touch and high impact

second summit is built on three key principles

01.

We are fee-only

That means a simple, easy-to-understand fee structure with no hidden incentives.

We don’t accept commissions or third-party payments.


02.

We operate as a fiduciary

This means being legally and ethically bound to act in your best interests.

We will disclose conflicts whenever they arise.


03.

We are independently owned

Our independence allows us to select the partners and product offerings that we believe are best suited to your needs, without compromise.


SABRINA LOWELL

“Our clients span many life stages including dual-income couples, “bread winning” career-minded women, corporate executives, pre- and post- IPO tech employees, and retirees.”

Sabrina Lowell, Founder and CEO


In working with clients for over two decades, I pair technical knowledge with certified coaching skills that help clients define goals, clarify strategies, and reach “a-ha” financial moments.

I am also passionate in cultivating future generations of female talent in the profession.

At Second Summit, we focus on providing a boutique firm feel that emphasizes personal touch and 1:1 relationships. We also know how important it is to provide industry-leading service and infrastructure. Through strategic partnerships, Second Summit harnesses a deep bench of expertise encompassing client service, operations, and portfolio management teams.

We look forward to starting a conversation together.
