The Parkstone Way

Advisory placement handled with restraint, neutrality, and credibility. Organizations gain confidence in their choice of advisors. Advisors gain clarity in how opportunities are structured.

Who We Are

Parkstone Associates exists to serve organizations and advisors who require structure in their engagements. For organizations, this means access to external expertise without unnecessary risk. For advisors, this means opportunities presented within a framework that protects professional independence.

We operate as a neutral intermediary. Our role is not to replace decision-making but to make the process clear and reliable. Organizations retain control over advisor selection. Advisors retain ownership of their professional direction. Parkstone ensures the process itself is handled with consistency and restraint.

By defining expectations and removing ambiguity, we enable both sides to proceed with confidence. Organizations know the advisors they engage are placed through a structured process. Advisors know the opportunities presented to them are credible, documented, and appropriately framed.
