MY WHY
Why I Became a Financial Advisor
As a tax advisor and CPA, I witnessed the frustration many clients experienced dealing with brokers and financial products. High fees, lack of transparency, poor performance and even poorer service were the common themes of their experiences.
I became a financial advisor to remove the anxiety that clients were feeling about their financial planning concerns. My approach is to blend tax planning and financial planning to give clients the opportunity for one-stop shopping for all their financial needs.
1
KNOW THAT YOUR BEST INTEREST COMES FIRST
In short, I take a holistic approach to financial planning and put my clients’ interests first in the role of a fiduciary.
2
ESTABLISH A REAL RELATIONSHIP
I genuinely care about my clients, which motivates me to deliver what I would call a “red carpet” experience.
3
GAIN A TRUSTED RESOURCE
As life becomes more complex, I provide one place to call to answer your financial planning questions.
