About

Mike founded Whitford Financial Planning after working in the financial services industry for 25 years. He learned the importance of planning ahead and giving back by observing his parents manage their household finances. Mike wanted to become an advisor so he could help people make informed financial decisions.

He started his career with Vanguard in a mutual fund accounting role but quickly realized he wanted to work directly with clients. While at Vanguard he completed the Certified Financial Planner (TM) coursework and first became an advisor. Mike then transitioned to Rodgers & Associates where he was able to provide more in-depth tax and retirement planning services and helped to build and manage a team of advisors.

At Whitford Financial Planning, we specialize in retirement, taxes, and inheritance planning.

Our comprehensive services are designed to coordinate your investments, tax strategies, retirement income needs, insurance, and estate planning goals. From day one, we work to maximize the efficiency of your financial resources, and as a fiduciary, we provide solutions that are always in your best interest.

Through regular meetings and communications we keep your plan on track by adjusting to economic conditions, tax law changes, and updates to your personal situation. With Whitford as your financial partner, we help you do the little things right and avoid possible costly mistakes.
