If I asked you how to drive from Boston to Florida, you would probably tell me it’s a lot easier to get there with a map or GPS. Now what if I asked you how to get from here to… retirement? Financial planning is like a road map for your future. With a holistic perspective, we dive into every aspect of your financial situation, ensuring that no opportunity for growth or security is overlooked, and we put together a plan to help you realize your dreams. Then, we help monitor your progress, like a financial GPS, as you navigate traffic along the way, or choose to stop at a few scenic overlooks. I began my career in Corporate Finance, but my passion for personal planning was sparked when I realized that I missed a few financial opportunities in my own life. In the early years, between work and building a family, time is at a premium. While my husband and I had interest in managing our financial lives, we didn’t have the time to be intentional about it. Working with a financial professional would have been beneficial, but at the time, we didn’t know how to afford it, who to trust, or where to seek qualified advice. So, I decided to become the person we were seeking. In 2017, I started pursuit of the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification, which requires a fiduciary oath to always put my clients’ best interests first. I founded Ascend Financial in 2023 because I believe financial planning should be accessible. At Ascend, we have no asset minimums. Our typical client is in their career-building phase, seeking advice on managing a lot of big-ticket expenses, and trying to maximize their opportunities for savings and retirement. In addition to comprehensive financial planning and investment management services, we also provide college funding analysis and student loan planning. Knowing that education is often one of the largest expenses a family incurs, we prioritize our skills in navigating the complex and ever-changing landscape of student loan and financial aid programs. At Ascend, we help clients organize their financial lives, dream about their goals, and analyze the what-if situations that come up. Our goal is to make sure that you see the opportunities that lie ahead, instead of noticing them in the rear-view mirror.
