Our DCPA Heritage

Diefendorf Capital Planning Associates revolves around the family, from our Family of Financial Service Companies to the creation of our 3 Dimensional Wealth Counseling Centers

Our goal is to strengthen families, not just by addressing their financial wealth, but by looking at their "total" wealth, including their personal and social wealth - their "3 Dimensional Wealth." 

For over 130 years, our family has a rich heritage as industry leaders. Founded by Warren T. Diefendorf in 1875, the legacy had been maintained by Warren E. Diefendorf, Monroe M. Diefendorf, Sr. and now Monroe M. Diefendorf, Jr.

Because many people regard financial planning as complex and confusing, they often miss out on many potentially rewarding opportunities. They also take unnecessary risks and fail to adequately protect their assets.That`s where Diefendorf Capital Planning Associates can help. Our goal is to take the mystery out of investing, managing risk, preparing for retirement, and preserving your wealth. With the advent of the World Wide Web, information can now easily be attained. However, we believe that information is not enough. Knowledge is not enough. We believe that people are seeking to have an advisory team with wisdom. While we employ all of the sophisticated systems to provide a thorough analysis of your situation, our relationship with you, the client, is more important than any process we employ to help preserve and grow your wealth. We hope to establish long and trusted relationships with our clients on to the next generation.
