I formed JSFA because I found it nearly impossible to do the right thing for clients when there is a complex corporate structure (and sales pressure) telling me what to do/not to do for clients. Let me be your guide to establishing a financial life plan that allows you to live life looking forward without fear. I do my best work with: • Recent (or soon to be) widow or widower. • Couples within 5 years (before or after) of retirement. • Total assets (excluding primary residence) of at least $1,000,000. • Your spouse handled all the money decisions; and now you need a guide to help you evaluate & prioritize financial decisions. • You need/want a thinking partner to help you clarify & organize your financial life. I do not work for an insurance company or investment firm. It’s just me and you. In fact, I will put in writing that I am a fiduciary and will put your interests first. I charge a fixed, flat fee for financial planning and investment management which is very different from most others in the financial business. Although I’m normally near the beach in Eastern Monmouth County, New Jersey or on a ski slope in Vermont, I can work remotely with clients regardless of geographic location.
