About Us
Philosophy
For me, the Sy Syms axiom, “An educated consumer is our best customer” survived long after his passing in 2009. Too many seek the quick sale and then on to the next client. You have all heard the term “commission breath.”
What makes us different is an understanding that our role is stewardship NOT salesmanship and as such place the highest value on what matters most to you. WHAT YOU DO TODAY DETERMINES YOUR TOMORROW!
The WHY
Your life is not static, and neither should your financial road map. Therefore, part of our ongoing process is to identify ways to cushion against Critical Financial Events. These are events that could render a financial road map as irrelevant, so our process is designed to constantly monitor your critical life and financial events to keep your plan on track.
My vision is to show people innovative and tax efficient strategies to help improve their financial future by minimizing risk and maximizing return.
Having my own CPA firm for almost 40 years a common prevailing theme I heard from clients as their trusted professional centered around incorporating a financial component into my practice. In 2006 I added my insurance license.
I advise business and individual clients on how to improve and maintain their income and quality of life while reducing their risk. My focus is in building client relationships by concentrating on the different needs and risks each client faces and working with a client’s other financial professionals (i.e., attorney, investment professional) to determine the appropriate solutions which are right for them to choose from. This collaborative approach enables me to provide the best service and value to my clients by linking them to other resources that can help create the results they are looking for.
I am skilled in developing strategies designed to assist clients with protecting their assets and minimizing taxes. Helping businesses and families of all ages and backgrounds prepare for unforeseen life-changing events which is the heart of my work feeds my innate desire to help others. My strategies involve coordinating all aspects of the financial world to ensure that we work toward your common interest. It is our job to identify the process and help you work toward your goal of living the life you imagined.
