Charles Scott Geringer

I specialize in tax, estate, and retirement planning for high-net worth individuals. Rather than leading with products or quick fixes, I starts every relationship by understanding what matters most - your goals, your concerns, and the future you're working toward. I live with my wife and two kids in Aviston, IL and I love playing a round of golf, rooting on the Cardinals, and spending time with my family.
