Who We Are
Our Story
Wealth management and WRP Wealth trace their beginning to 1990 when Alan Werba helped pioneer a fee-based, client-focused tax and financial planning firm in San Jose. After an extensive career in public accounting, Aaron Rubin joined the firm in 2009, which then became known as Werba Rubin Wealth Management.
Separately, Jason Papier launched Fluent Wealth Partners in 2007 as a fee-only financial planning firm with an emphasis on sound, research-based investment practices. In July 2017, the firms merged to form Werba Rubin Papier Wealth Management, providing their clients with a three-dimensional approach to wealth management that includes tax planning and preparation, investment management, and financial planning.
During the past three decades we have witnessed numerous changes to the tax codes, significant stock market volatility, rapidly rising real estate values and many other forces that have impacted our clients.
During this period we have helped our clients lower their financial stress by analyzing their financial picture and then developing customized strategies based on their resources and goals. The primary goal of WRP Wealth Management is to bring a sense of peace and calm by bringing structure and efficiency into focus and trying to eliminate the emotionalism that frequently sabotages financial success. Our wealth management process first and foremost is designed to get our clients successfully through their lives, but also to find the best way to transition their assets to their children and grandchildren with the least disruption possible.
