About Us
Consulting with Purpose
Concierge Wealth Management Services was founded in 2013 by Karin Orlowski after a long and successful career with Edward Jones Investments. Her brother Karl joined the team in 2019, bringing 14 years of wealth management experience with him at that time.
​
Growing up in San Diego, both were involved in their Father’s dental practice as his janitors and office managers. Throughout their lives they observed and were influenced by his entrepreneurial drive while building a successful practice delivering high quality and effective care of his patients.
​
Karin and Karl bring that same work ethos with them as they strive to deliver a high-quality financial planning and wealth management experience for their clients. Another hallmark of their business is that it is client centric, informative and efficient, with a focus on resolving retirement income issues, and establishing estate planning and tax savings solutions .

“Cat: Where are you going?
Alice: Which way should I go?
Cat: That depends on where you are going.
Alice: I don’t know.
Cat: Then it doesn’t matter which way you go.”
― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
​
Karl's favorite quote when discussing financial planning with his clients comes from Alice in Wonderland. A believer that financial planning is more of an ongoing process than a reference book, Karl enjoys assisting his clients when they are faced with a fork in the road of their financial lives. He is passionate about helping his clients make informed decisions.
​
Karl began his financial services career in 2005 establishing an Edward Jones Branch Office in Simi Valley, CA. After his time with Edward Jones, Karl established himself as an independent financial advisor. His career has afforded him the opportunity to work with a variety of clientele; ranging from the ultra-high net worth client trying to preserve and advance their wealth, to clients requiring a budgeted approach to accumulating and managing their wealth.
​
Karl began offering his financial planning services in Moorpark, CA in the Spring of 2019. He enjoys the freedom to answer to his clients and their needs rather than answer to a sales goal or other corporate derived compensation plan.
​
When not in the office, Karl enjoys being involved in lives of his two boys. An active person all his life, he enjoys mountain biking, golfing, surfing and reading the occasional non-work related book.
​
Karl has obtained the FINRA series 7, 63, and 66 securities licenses as well as the California State Insurance License #0f08628

Shirley Smith-Moore
Scheduling
Returning to our Team is Shirley Smith-Moore, who initially worked with Karin at Edward Jones, and then helped Karin establish Concierge Wealth Management Services. In 2014, Shirley moved back to Olympia, WA to be closer to her two daughters and their growing families (She and hubby Dan have eight grandchildren now!). However, thanks to advancing technology, Shirley has returned to CWMS remotely from her office in Washington state!
​
Shirley has a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and Art and has enjoyed a successful consulting business providing her clients with coaching and project management services -at times being referred to as (Karin puts it) a Fairy Godmother due to her curious mind, her love to serve, her fierce protectiveness, and her delight in spreading some ‘glitter’ in her daily encounters.
On a personal note, Shirley relishes creating in her recently built Art Studio, singing at a few gigs every year, and gratefully sharing her life with her precious loved ones.
Astrid Quintero
Administrative Assistant
Astrid joined Concierge Wealth Management Services in May 2025 after meeting Karin socially several years earlier. The two stayed in touch and discovered, that at one point, Astrid had previously worked with the veterinarian who Karin let take care of her pets.
Before joining CWMS, Astrid gained extensive experience in client service roles that required strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and a commitment to delivering an exceptional client experience. Astrid’s experience in client services, along with her proactive attitude affords her the confidence to learn and grow within a dynamic professional environment.
Astrid’s hands-on approach and dedication make her a valuable member of the CWMS team, assisting both clients and advisors to ensure daily operations run smoothly. Outside of work, she enjoys golfing, walks on the beach, cooking, skiing, and watching her favorite movies and shows.
