Philosophy
Michael (Mike) has been working in the financial services industry for over 3 decades. As a Certified Financial Planner™ and independent financial adviser, he provides unbiased advice to help individuals and businesses build their financial futures. He does this by following the 7 step financial planning process. Using this process he assesses where his clients are financially, determines their risk tolerance, and identifies their goals and objectives. He then uses this information to create a personalized financial plan or strategy. As clients’ needs change or evolve, he makes appropriate adjustments to strategies and portfolios so clients can create, manage, and preserve their wealth.
Mike specializes in investment, retirement, tax, and estate planning, and he offers a broad variety of investment options and insurance plans. He also helps clients minimize their annual tax burden by analyzing their current tax and financial situation and then recommending an appropriate course of action, including capital gains tax loss harvesting. His goal: to provide the investment and tax planning advice clients need to improve their lifestyles while pursuing financial confidence and future retirement income needs. For clients ready to retire, Mike recommends investments and strategies that provide lifetime income, wealth preservation, and inflation protection, providing the confidence that comes from knowing you have a sound plan in place.
Mike’s average client has between $250,000 and $500,000 to invest. Although he works with a number of high net worth families and professionals, many of his clients are working couples who have saved less than $500,000. He works primarily on a fee basis for services rendered.
