Susan Alice Skahan

Hi, I am Joe, I have chosen to be a financial planner because I care deeply about helping people achieve an even greater future with their finances. I specialize in working with corporate professionals and families planning for a future in retirement. I have a lot of experience with employees at public Biotechnology and Defense Contracting Firms. I often see people start to work with me around 45-60 to get a head start on their future, but also have a variety of others I work with as well. I offer ongoing financial planning and investment services as well as one time plans. Utilizing my unique planning and investment philosophy, we can explore valuable financial opportunities, uncover blind spots, and build a plan that makes your money work harder for you.

Growing up on a cattle ranch in Northern California, Joseph Bogdan learned the value of hard work, accountability, and long-term thinking from an early age. Those lessons continue to guide the way he serves clients today. Joseph attended the University of San Francisco, where he played Division I baseball while earning his degree in business management. The discipline, preparation, and resilience required to compete at a high level became the foundation for his approach to wealth management. Today, Joseph works with individuals, families, business owners, and corporate executives to simplify complex financial decisions and build strategies aligned with their long-term goals. He specializes in investment management, retirement planning, equity compensation, and helping clients navigate major financial transitions with confidence. Joseph believes great financial advice starts with understanding people—not just portfolios. He is passionate about building lasting relationships and helping clients make informed decisions at every stage of life. Originally from Sonoma County, California—which makes him a lifelong wine enthusiast—Joseph now lives in Boston. Outside of work, you’ll find him trying to catch fish that aren’t biting, traveling the world in search of his next adventure, or generously donating golf balls to the trees of New England.
