Your Wealth Deserves
A Process, Not A Product
SANZ is an independent financial services firm built for individuals and families who have accumulated capital and are ready for structure, strategy, and a defined plan. We don't manage accounts. We partner with lives.
Our Discipline
We partner with individuals and families managing meaningful capital who seek clarity, structure, and a defined process — not products.
Independent advice built around your plan, not around transactions

Who We Serve
We Don't Work With Everyone
We Work With The Right Ones
Our clients have built capital with discipline. What they need now is structure, strategy, and an advisor who stays present — not just when markets move, but when life does.
Our Services
Five Disciplines For
Capital That Matters
Some advisors offer products. We offer a structured approach to your complete financial picture — organized across five disciplines that work together, not in isolation.
01
Portfolio Construction & Asset Allocation
A portfolio built around your specific situation — risk tolerance, time horizon, tax reality, and income needs. Not a model built for someone else.
02
Wealth Consolidation &
Organization
Some clients arrive with assets scattered across banks, brokers, and plans. We build one clear picture before we make a single recommendation.
03
Retirement Income & Distribution Strategy
The shift from accumulation to distribution is the most critical financial transition of your life. We design income that doesn't erode the capital you spent decades building.
04
Tax-Aware Investment Strategy
Every decision we make is filtered through a tax lens. Not because we are tax advisors — because returns that ignore taxes are incomplete.
05
Ongoing Advisory & Strategic
Planning
The relationship doesn't end when the account opens. That's where the real work begins. We stay present through every decision that matters.
About The Firm
Disciplined Counsel,
Built On Trust
My name is Marcos Sanz Madera. I built my career inside the traditional banking model — seventeen years of being present in the most important financial decisions of my clients' lives. That experience gave me something no designation can: the ability to recognize when a client has capital but no strategy, income but no structure, and a future that deserves more than a product recommendation.
SANZ was not built to be another advisory practice. It was built to be the answer to a question I kept seeing: why do so many people with serious wealth still feel financially unorganized? The answer, consistently, was that they had been sold — not advised. They had accounts, but no plan. Products, but no process.
I believe in a model where the client understands what they are doing, why they are doing it, and how every decision fits within a larger plan. Independence removes conflicts, expands options, and puts the client at the center of every recommendation.
Proximity is the competitive advantage.
— Marcos Sanz Madera, Founder
Three Principles
Strategy
Every recommendation follows a defined process. We don't react to markets — we respond to your plan.
Finance
We integrate analysis, structure, and vision to help transform economic decisions into sustainable, well-founded growth.
Guidance
We provide clear direction and constant accompaniment — making every financial decision more confident and purposeful.
Our Process
A Defined Process Behind
Every Decision
We don't improvise. Every recommendation follows a clear, repeatable sequence — because structure is not a deliverable, it's a discipline.
01
Organize & Clarify
We begin by building a complete picture: assets, liabilities, income, goals, timelines. Before strategy, there must be clarity.
02
Construct & Allocate
With a clear foundation, we design a portfolio and financial structure aligned to your specific situation — not to a generic model.
03
Steward & Sustain
Ongoing advisory is where some firms disappear. We stay. We monitor, adjust, and remain present at every decision point that matters.
