OUR SERVICES

What We Offer

Tax department staffed with CPAs and IRS Enrolled Agents who handle fiduciary income tax returns, tax reporting, and coordination with your existing CPA.

Agent services under financial and healthcare DPOAs, including financial management, care management, and after-hours response for healthcare clients.
GSS provides exemplary care management to many of its trust beneficiary and power of attorney clients. In addition, we offer these services on a contract basis and can tailor them to the needs of you or your loved one.

Institutional Knowledge & Experience

GSS Trust has had the same ownership since 1985. Ten of our staff members have been with GSS for more than 10 years, and several for more than 15 years. That depth of experience makes us better prepared to handle a wider array of clients and challenges than any newer or smaller firm.

Flexibility

We do not have an asset minimum, and we do not need to be in charge of everything. We work alongside your existing advisors — your wealth manager, CPA, and estate planning attorney — and take on only the roles you need us for. One role or several, the scope is up to you.

Responsiveness & Reliability

Every GSS Trust client is assigned a dedicated staff member who serves as their primary point of contact. Company policy is to return calls and emails same day or within 24 hours. Assigned staff members cover each others absences, and an after-hours line is available for clients in which GSS holds a healthcare oversight role.

Regulations, Oversight & Controls

GSS Trust is a Washington State chartered trust company regulated by DFI, the same body that oversees state-chartered banks. We undergo DFI examinations every 18 months, receive an annual independent audit, and maintain dual-authorization controls on all financial transactions.

Our Diverse Staff

Our team of 30-plus professionals reflects the full diversity of the clients we serve, across generations, backgrounds, and languages.
