After many years of DIY financial planning, I decided to set a goal to retire early. I quickly realized that my spreadsheet approach could not handle the interconnected complexities of SS and tax optimizations, Roth conversions, health and long-term care costs, inflation, and other retirement challenges.
This led to my frustrating multi-year search for a qualified and competent fee-only financial planner. After interviewing several local, national, and institutional financial planners, including signing on and terminating several of those relationships, I finally found Joe.
From the outset, he has exhibited remarkable professionalism and a genuine desire to provide us with a holistic financial plan. He has taken the time to thoroughly understand our financial situation, unique stock programs, goals, and issues and is working towards creating a plan to address all our needs.
As if that was not enough, I genuinely appreciate his ability to involve my wife in the planning process and utilize his exceptional communication skills, breaking down complex concepts into easily understandable terms for both of us. This makes the entire process more accessible, and we feel more confident that we are making informed decisions together.
Thanks to Joe's thoughtful and inclusive approach, my wife and I are working towards a financial plan that aligns with our shared goals. He is ideal if you're looking for a financial planner who values teamwork, communication, and inclusivity. I wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone seeking personalized and collaborative financial planning experience.
