About Lithos

Built on stone. Designed to last.

Layered Planning, Lasting Wealth.

Lithos exists to coordinate every layer of a family's financial life — protection, growth, tax, and property — under one trusted roof. Here is the why behind the work.

Our Mission

To create wealth for families.

Most people don't have a wealth problem. They have a coordination problem. Their insurance agent doesn't talk to their tax preparer. Their investment account doesn't account for their mortgage. Their estate plan, if they have one, sits in a drawer. Each piece may be fine on its own, yet no one is responsible for how the pieces fit together — and that is where families quietly lose ground.

Lithos was built to be that one responsible place. The name is the Greek word for stone — a deliberate choice. Real wealth, like anything meant to endure, is built in layers, set on a foundation, and given time to compound. We call our approach layered planning: insurance to protect what you have, wealth strategy to grow it, tax coordination to preserve it, and real estate to build on it — designed to work as one plan rather than four disconnected decisions.

"We do not sell products. We build plans — and we believe sales should be the byproduct of education and trust."

The Founder's Story

From glaciers to generational wealth.

Lithos was founded by Dr. Sam Saha, who took an unlikely road into financial services. He spent years as a research scientist and earned a PhD in glacial geology — studying how ice, pressure, and time reshape a landscape and leave something permanent behind. It turns out that is not a bad way to think about money, either.

The deeper reason runs back further. Dr. Sam lost his father at the age of nine. In the difficult years that followed, a modest life insurance policy was one of the few things that held his family steady. That experience left a permanent impression: one responsible decision, made before a tragedy, can change the entire trajectory of a family. Protection is not a product to him. It is personal.

He came to the United States on a full scholarship, built a career in research, and then made a deliberate choice to build something of his own — a firm that would give ordinary families the kind of coordinated, honest guidance that is usually reserved for the wealthy. Grounded in faith, family, and a scientist's respect for doing things the right way, that conviction became Lithos.

What We Stand On

Four pillars beneath every plan

Foundation & Trust

Built on integrity. Every recommendation begins with your best interest, in plain language.

Strategy & Planning

Thoughtful direction. A clear plan comes before any product is ever discussed.

Growth & Opportunity

Compounding value. Strategies designed to strengthen, not just hold, over time.

Vision & Legacy

Enduring impact. Wealth structured to outlast a single generation.

Why An Ecosystem

One team. Every layer.

A family rarely needs just one thing. They need a coordinated conversation about protection, income, retirement, tax, property, and legacy. So instead of sending you to four different firms who never speak, Lithos brings those disciplines under one roof — four advisory divisions today, with two more on the way.

When the people handling your insurance, your wealth strategy, your taxes, and your real estate are actually working from the same plan, the gaps close and the overlaps disappear. That is the entire idea.

  • Insurance Advisory — protect income, health, property, and people.
  • Wealth Advisory — plan, grow, and turn assets into retirement income.
  • Tax Advisory — filing, accounting, and bookkeeping handled with care.
  • Realty & Lending — real estate and financing inside your full plan.
  • International Realty & Realty Holdings — coming as we grow.
