Mike John Henzes Jr.

Hi there! I'm Alex, a CPA and CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® in Phoenixville, PA. I help families navigate complex tax & estate issues so they can accelerate their wealth-building journey & transfer their wealth to the next generation efficiently. My approach blends technical expertise with practical, real-world planning to make sure clients feel confident, informed, and fully supported at every stage of their financial lives. As both a CPA and CFP®, I focus on strategies that go far beyond investment management. Tax planning, estate structuring, retirement income optimization, equity compensation guidance, and multigenerational wealth transfer are at the core of my practice. I believe that true financial planning is proactive, not reactive. That means helping clients reduce lifetime taxes, avoid costly estate mistakes, and organize their financial lives so that everything works together—efficiently and intentionally. My practice is built on clarity, education, and long-term relationships. I take the time to understand what matters most to each family, then create a plan that aligns with their values, their goals, and their legacy. Whether you're navigating a major financial decision, preparing to retire, or planning for the next generation, I’m here to guide you through the complexities so you can focus on living the life you’ve worked hard to build.
