Florencio Saldana III

My objective is simple: I will focus on understanding your unique values, personal situation and financial needs in order to deliver tailored strategies to you. Our branch will help you track your goals and communicate regularly to deliver timely information. Working closely with you and your CPA, attorney and other professionals, I can help determine the most appropriate financial strategy for you and your family. I can also help with your retirement savings strategy, so you have more options when you retire, regardless of what you decide to do. I began my Financial Planning career in 2012 in Sugar Land, Texas. At Sync Wealth Group, we invest in our knowledge so we can have a positive impact on your whole financial picture, so I hold the AAMS™ and CRPC™ designations. We provide highly personalized service. All aspects of our business are aligned to help us better understand and meet your unique goals and needs. Outside of work, I enjoy attending my children's baseball games, theatre plays, teaching guitar to my oldest and traveling.
