Like so many of the great XYPN financial advisors you’ll find on this platform, I founded Andante Financial to provide best-in-class, independent financial planning and investment management services. But what makes my firm unique? Here’s three things to start: -After-tax performance is never an afterthought We use robust tax-loss harvesting tools and processes to enhance your after-tax returns. -Investment management: we take it personally We construct personalized investment portfolios for each client; none of our investment management is outsourced or “copy and paste”. -Our values go beyond an account statement 10% of Andante Financial fees are donated to charity and we donate to charities that clients care about so we can redefine "shared values" When I work with a client, I take the responsibility of helping them protect and grow the fruits of their labor seriously; I earned my CFP®, CFA, and CPA marks to expand my knowledge and make the most of any opportunity I get to help a client succeed. But my favorite part of this work is curating a network of clients that I truly enjoy working with and rooting for. Please reach out for an intro call – I’ll enjoy the opportunity to chat and help you get the right person in your corner, whether its me or not.
