Meet the Scottsdale team behind your retirement plan.

Scottsdale-based fiduciary advisors who lead with planning, not products. Custom portfolios without mutual funds. Tax-smart income strategies. Coordinated estate and tax work. Custody at Charles Schwab.

Our Story

Co-founders Eric Gomez and Matthew Saber, CFP® met at JP Morgan—Matt as a wealth advisor, Eric as a wealth management banker after his time at USAA. They discovered a shared philosophy: retirement planning should integrate investments, taxes, Social Security, Medicare, and estate considerations into one cohesive approach.

They founded SG Wealth Managers in Scottsdale to put that philosophy into practice. The firm's advisors are salaried, portfolios are managed in-house using individual stocks and ETFs rather than mutual funds, and each client's plan is designed to address multiple areas of their financial life—not just investments.

What We Believe

Plan First

Your retirement income plan drives portfolio decisions.

Know What You Own

Transparent, custom portfolios—no mutual funds.

Tax-Aware Always

A dollar not lost to avoidable taxes funds life.

Coordination Beats Silos

We keep investments, taxes, Medicare, and estate wishes in the same conversation.

Process Over Predictions

We model scenarios and review, rather than guess.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you fiduciaries?

Yes—SG Wealth Managers is a registered investment adviser. We provide fiduciary advice under our advisory agreement, meaning we're legally obligated to act in your best interest.

How are you regulated?

We operate under the Investment Advisers Act and applicable state/SEC rules. You can review our Disclosures, Form ADV, and Form CRS for complete regulatory information.

How are advisors compensated?

Advisors here are salary-based. There are no sales commissions on advisory accounts. See our Fees page for complete details.

Who holds my assets?

Your accounts are custodied at Charles Schwab. We place trades and advise; you retain control. Schwab is a separate, unaffiliated company.

Do you use mutual funds?

No. We manage individual stocks and ETFs. This avoids mutual fund sales loads and 12b-1 fees. Clients pay our advisory (AUM) fee and underlying ETF expense ratios.

Do you provide legal or tax advice?

We coordinate planning and work alongside your professionals; your attorney/CPA provides legal/tax advice under a separate engagement.
