Neala Moore
Neala Moore began her career as an attorney in a private law practice in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan where she specialized in estate planning, probate, bankruptcy and asset protection. Looking for a different way to help people and use her skills, Neala left legal work and became an associate in the operations department of the boutique investment firm of Liberty Capital Management, LLC in Birmingham, Michigan. Upon moving to San Antonio, Texas in 2003, she moved from the back office to the front when she became a financial adviser with UBS Financial Services, Inc. As a financial adviser, Neala worked with individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, businesses and charitable organizations. Her background as an attorney was particularly beneficial to her clients in developing investment strategies in coordination with the client’s attorneys, accountants, and third-party administrators. With a desire to put her skills to greater use in the financial services arena, she became the Director of Operations and Chief Compliance Officer for Matterhorn Capital Management, LLC. Neala developed their operations and compliance programs. The call to spread her entrepreneurial wings came in January 2012. With the encouragement and support of her former employer, she began Sapphire Compliance Management, LLC. Sapphire Compliance Management, LLC provides compliance consulting services to small and mid-size SEC and state registered investment advisers.
