Brian's Mission Statement and Commitment to You:

My goal is to help you make informed decisions about issues that affect your financial well-being so that we can help you achieve financial freedom.  I will work closely with you and your own advisors, such as your attorney or accountant, with one set of goals in mind-yours.

I can also help you achieve these goals:

Asset Protection.  We all work hard for our money, and protecting our assets – both the tangible (a home protected from fire) and non-tangible – (tax and inflation erosion or litigation) is important to a sound financial strategy.  After all, you've built your nest egg – you should do all you can to keep it.

Asset Allocation.  How your money is invested should reflect who you are – how you feel toward risk and customizing your portfolio to complement these factors, you may achieve not only your financial goals, but peace of mind, as well.

Retirement income goals.  We've all heard the statistics.  People are living longer and are enjoying retirement for many more years than ever before.  Making sure those years are enjoyable is a goal of many.  Helping to ensure not to outlive an income is a common financial goal.

Protecting your survivors.  In addition to preserving your estate from Federal estate taxes, you may also be concerned about those who are dependent on you.  There are solutions to this need.  Continuing the protection of your survivors can be achieved with proper strategy.

Wealth accumulation.  Accumulating assets, and doing so in the most effective matter for growth while minimizing taxes, is a financial goal of many individuals.

Preserving estates from substantial Federal estate taxation.  Some estates are subject to excessive federal estate taxation.  Sometimes the tax bite can be up to 55% and sometimes, that bite could be more.  There are ways you can preserve most of your estate for your heirs – not Uncle Sam. *

Tax reduction strategies.  Taxes, it seems, are measures that can help lessen your tax burden.  For instance, tax deferred or tax exempt investments that will help keep more money in your portfolio and less in the hands of the government. *

Higher education goals for your children.  For many parents, a child's future is the utmost importance.  Beginning to fund higher education sooner than later – and doing it with the right tools and investments – can help make all the difference in the world.

Business continuation and preservation.  For business owners, partners, and majority stock holders, what happens to a business as the result of the retirement, disability, or death of a key employee, owner, or partner can mean the business healthily continues or that the business is subject to hard times or, in the worst cases, a distressed sale or closure.  Helping to protect a business with effective solutions now can mean a continued future.
