"It was a fairly easy decision to join forces," says Duckworth.
"We had complementary, growing practices, a shared commitment to
ethical and professional standards, even the same devotion to
personal attention."
In addition to services mentioned, Pittsburgh-based ATI will also
provide financial planning and risk-management services.
ATI is associated with Pittsburgh-based broker-dealer Allegheny
Investments.
Before he went into business for himself, Butler was a
private-client advisor at mellon.com Mellon Financial. Duckworth,
who has operated his practice since 2000, taught accounting and
finance at Carnegie Mellon University. -FWR
