I also don't want my life revolving around interest rates and tax brackets. To live my life, I needed a money guy. A guy for stuff like this. Jeff is my guy. Like many people, I had an endless list of complex calculations. Which investments should I make? Which loans are sensible to pay off and when? How can I reduce my tax burden? Which of the many available plans should I be using to save for retirement? Jeff has been prompt, efficient, and (useful for busy professionals) very easy to work with. I've been able to schedule meetings at my convenience, either at his location, in places chosen by me, or over the phone. His fee is extremely reasonable, pays for itself, and is more than worth the sense of financial security which puts my mind at ease. Now when my employer hands me a stack of fine print on investment and retirement options, I don't panic. When I think I should be investing in something, I don't worry. I have a guy for this. And knowing that has been worth every penny.

They have moved from College Parkway to their new location which is much easier to access from RT 50 near the "Red Hot and Blue".

I can handle doctors, dentists, needles and even surgery, but financial advisors give me the willies. However, CFP and especially Julie, made me feel so much better and I finally feel as if I'm in control. It's really worth making an appointment and just get in there and talk to them! I can sleep better tonight knowing they are helping.

It has been so helpful to work with Kevin these past couple of months! When my husband and…read more I were initially searching for some support with our finances, we were looking for someone who could meet us at our level and explain financial topics in ways we could understand ( HSAs, Roth IRAs, Traditional IRAs, HYSAs, etc.) We were looking for someone who help us understand our current financial picture and whether we were saving enough to be able to retire at our desired age, be able to enjoy our current hobbies of traveling, and pay for medical expenses we will have. As a woman who got married later and came to my marriage with assets, I wanted to make sure I was making smart financial decisions with regards to my investments, savings, and spending habits as I know I will take home less money than my husband. We found that in Kevin and are so grateful for his knowledge and guidance. Kevin has helped me understand my financial portfolio and adjust my investment choices to match my financial goals. He has a unique approach to providing guidance with regards to finances which involves front loading the work together with weekly meetings the first month followed by check-ins and continued financial information through articles on various financial topics. We highly recommend working with Kevin if you are looking for solid guidance around your finances.

Kevin has been such an incredible asset in my life. I knew that I was not confident in how to…read morehandle money and the stressors of bills and student loans after graduating and starting my first full time job. I also didn't know if I was being too hasty in pursuing a financial advisor when I was just starting out; was the investment in a financial planner worth it considering I had little assets, a moderate paycheck, and student loan debt? Since I was rather anxious in not wanting to make mistakes that could impact the rest of my financial life, I decided to look into Kevin. His website drew me in with his focus on millennials and the unique financial challenges we face. He seemed real and truthful which is what I was looking for above all else. Someone to give me real, concrete advice, and not take advantage of me considering my limited understanding in "adult" finances. After my first free consultation I knew I was in good hands and that his website accurately reflected his values. Although it was a financial investment to get a financial planner, Kevin has helped me set up a future that is beyond worth the money I spent/spend. We continue to have check-ins as my financial situation changes and he never holds judgement when I need a concept explained or broken down considering money has a lot of jargon. I now feel confident in my plans for paying off my student debt, investing in my future, and living a normal life all at the same time. I recommend him to all my friends and coworkers when conversations turn to finances as we all navigate this often challenging money world.
