True of false:
You should only work with a financial advisor if you have a lot of money.
FALSE! A financial advisor can help you with more than just investment management. I work with clients on all aspects of financial planning including understanding how to maximize saving, spending and investing to reach your current and long-term goals.
I work with clients from early career and into retirement—and every step along the way!— in order to help them invest and grow their wealth, manage investments according to risk tolerance and needs, and create a solid retirement income plan. Together we work on solutions to make the vision you have for your retirement a reality—and also identify how to express your values through legacy planning.
