About Bartholomew
Whether you’re an individual, family, or business owner, or you represent a community or institution, our approach to helping you achieve your goals starts with the same foundation: the strong personal connections we make with you.

- Lindsay Peterson
Grounded in Relationships,
Driven by Purpose
Bartholomew & Company is a full-service investment management and planning firm with a team of 30 investment adviser representatives, registered staff, and support staff collectively advising more than $4 billion in client assets*. And while the knowledge and experience we’ve amassed over more than a quarter-century distinguish us, what truly defines us is the quality relationships we establish with every client we serve. This cornerstone is why our clients entrust us to guide their financial lives and recommend us to their families and friends for the same reasons.

Our Community Partners
Our commitment to creating meaningful partnerships that endure begins with the clients we serve every day and extends to the communities in which we work and live. To us, being a good community partner means doing everything from supporting our fellow local businesses through advertising, sponsorship, and representation on area boards and committees to giving back by hosting toy and food drives, participating in volunteer activities, and making charitable contributions through the Bartholomew Anniversary Fund. These are some of the many community organizations we partner with and support:
