We have proven wisdom that creates, grows and secures multi-generational success.


WHO WAS D.S. BAKER?

Dorsey Syng Baker was a visionary young doctor who moved to Walla Walla in 1861 and quickly set to work helping the town prosper. A wise sage who saw possibilities where others might not, he became an early architect of Eastern Washington by bringing in railroads, education, a mercantile and a bank that propelled the region forward.

Today, his entrepreneurial zeal and love of community still serve as the bedrock of Baker Boyer, the bank he co-founded to help grow, protect and secure family legacies for generations.

 WHO WE CAN HELP

D.S. Baker Advisors serve:

  • Business owners, professionals, and families that need complex solutions to their most pressing financial needs
  • Attorneys, accountants and other professionals looking to partner with the D.S. Baker Advisor team to augment the services provided to their clients

WHAT IS A D.S. BAKER ADVISOR?

D.S. Baker Advisors is a team with diverse expertise who are all focused on one goal: to help local families manage assets to build local legacies. We simplify the wealth journey by bringing together a full panel of wealth management experts—each with a deep knowledge in various aspects of financial planning.

At the centerpiece of this bold new concept is a personal financial concierge who sees what help you need before you ask, brings in the right expertise for the issue at hand, and ensures that all advisors are working hand-in-hand—rather than in independent silos—to reach your goals.

Our D.S. Baker Advisors are among the best-of-the-best wealth managers and the only local family of wealth management experts that helps grow, protect and secure family legacies.
