There was a time when I didn't have enough money to even pay my bills each month- let alone needing…read morea financial adviser to tell me how to invest, save, or how to protect myself from tax liabilities, etc. But that was many years ago . . . almost feels like a different life. And after working for most of my lifetime- it came time to consolidate all of my financial advisers under one roof. Capstone came highly recommended and since they do several of my colleagues and are familiar with my company's incentive plans, etc, after a quick interview to see if we were going to get along, I contracted with them. Keith and Frank (sounds like a comedy team but sometimes I think it is me who provides the humor when I go there as they are always laughing at some outrageous thing I say when there . . . most be a lot of "old fuddy duddies" in the financial advising business) take the time to explain what they think I should do to invest my money as well as to protect my assets in the future to make sure those in my life are taken care of even if I am not here to do it. They are timely in their communication, follow stocks, make recommendations and just basically help me to make the right decisions regarding my finances. Their fees are based on what you need them to do and are varied. Plus they take the hassle of all of that away so deadlines are met, tax returns filed, quarterly updates provided, things are consolidated and they do it all with smiles on their faces no matter how many questions I ask, or how long it takes me to sign something basic (trust me . . .my living trust took forever as I just didn't want to think about who was going to pull the plug on me if I was sick. Let me go on the record here to all who are reading this that you can pull it . . . just not too soon!) I trust them with my future. A huge responsibility, I know. And one I don't partner into lightly. If you are looking for someone to help manage your finances, you owe it to yourself to talk to these guys. More substance than flash . . . but that's what I'm paying them for . . .and I'm a girl who likes to get her money's worth.

To make sure everything was on point, I hired F5 Financial to manage our Financials. I wasn't interested in hiring an advisor that only wanted to squeeze out an extra dime where possible. I wanted an advisor like Curt, who looked at things comprehensively. I like F5's holistic approach to financial planning - it's structured and disciplined, but it's tailored around our goals (like purchasing a vacation home soon). Because it's well-structured, nothing gets overlooked, and Curt holds me accountable to make sure there is follow-through. He brings a high level of integrity and responsiveness to his work, which I appreciate. I'm very happy with our financial situation and the peace of mind I get from working with F5.
