Titles matter when you are interviewing or changing positions.
It's often pretty easy to negotiate a title during the offer process. They're often thinking "Whew, that's an easy thing we can do, and it doesn't cost a lot."
There are two times when that might not be the case though... more established firms have pay ranges that go with specific titles, so if your new title has a different (and higher) pay range, they may have an issue with that. Yours is a small firm, you said, so that probably isn't an issue.
The other time it's an issue is when it is a title implies substantially more job responsibilities than you actually have. This can cause political problems, and also can cause marketing problems, if potential clients see you as having a more senior title than they think you deserve, it calls into question whether their money is indeed managed by experienced and qualified people. In your case, it sounds like that's not going to be a major problem, and it's just a matter of finding a wording that everyone can live with.
Don't think that titles don't matter. Some people I've worked for think that "titles don't matter, because you end up doing a bit of lots of stuff." Well, it didn't matter to him, because he was the Principal and CEO. Everyone underneath him was completely ticked off, because their career progression didn't have any title-based evidence on their resumes.
