MY WHY
Why I Became a Financial Advisor
Every year around tax time, I was befuddled by poor decisions made by outside advisors who were not properly planning and, oftentimes, cost their clients much more tax than necessary. It was unfortunate that it was usually too late to correct these missteps and misjudgments after the fact. I became a financial advisor as a way to better serve clients because I truly enjoy helping people plan for the tax effect of financial decisions, both large and small.
