Michael Lipkins, AIF® Financial Advisor, RJFS

As a financial advisor, I have worked in the investment and banking industry since 1992. I honed my skills early on working for large financial institutions and brokerage firms in the Bay Area. Since that time, I found my niche working with a select group of families and clients to help build wealth and financial confidence now and well into the future.

With offices in Palo Alto, California, and Beaverton, Oregon, I implement a customized investment approach that provides my clients with comprehensive financial advice that adheres to a strict investment philosophy. Though I am disciplined in all aspects of financial research and analysis, my style is anything but regimented. Working with clients one-on-one is where I believe I can thrive. I am confident in my skills to connect with clients to create a personalized investment and retirement plan.

My goal is simple: I want to work with people who know the value of a dollar and the value of quality, personalized service. That’s what we strive to offer here. This combination of drive and service has earned me the Raymond James Chairman’s Council* in 2021, an annual ranking of distinguished financial advisors at the firm.

I am a longtime supporter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), and also support programs that battle food insecurity for children and families in both San Francisco and Portland.

A latecomer to the sport of running, I have a few half-marathons under my belt, and in March 2020 I completed my first, and hopefully my last, full marathon.

I am an avid traveler, and I’m always looking for suggestions for the next adventure.

Give me a call, and let’s talk about your future.
