We chose the name “Capstone” to reflect our firm’s focus on college planning (“capstone” refers to a student’s final course of subject mastery in a higher education setting). We included “Partners” in the name to signify our intent with client relationships – that is, a real partnership built on trust and not just a one-time sales transaction.
