About Robert W Baird

A Different Kind of Financial Partner What makes Baird different from many financial firms began with our founding in 1919 and Robert Baird's understanding that our business was fundamentally about trust, partnership and building better futures for our clients and the communities we share. What we call The Baird Way represents the responsibility that comes with that understanding and our confidence that it brings out our best in everything we do. It is the foundation of core beliefs we share, the promise we make to each other and the inspiration for our Mission: To provide the best financial advice and service to our clients and be the best place to work for our associates. Much has changed in the world since Robert Baird first wrote Clients Come First! in 1919. But the focus that has fueled Baird's growth and success for more than a century has always been on doing what's best for the people who rely on us. That's The Baird Way.

About Vermillion Financial Advisors

Vermillion Financial Advisors has been providing investment management, personal financial planning, and business consulting services since 1988. We specialize in serving individuals over the age of 50, who wish to be proactive in addressing their personal finances. These individuals are often interested in planning for a secure retirement and confirming they have sufficient funds to last throughout retirement. They also want to engage the services of a professional to assist the family when a loved one passes or becomes incapacitated. Clients generally seek Vermillion Financial Adavisors' advice as the result of many common changes in life but most often as of a monetary windfall (e.g. an inheritance, sale of a family business, severance package or retirement buyout), an unexpected life event (e.g. death or change in health status of a loved one). Often it is simply because time is too limited for busy clients to properly address their financial planning needs or because personal finances have become too complex. Business owners often seek VFA advice to evaluate current employee benefits, strategic planning, or business succession.
