Ever since I can remember, I have been fascinated by markets and investing. I can recall an early memory of my late father, fist pumping while watching the stock market channel on a shoddy TV set in the back of our local ice cream shop. I took this fervor for the stock market into a career in financial planning and have never looked back. My name is Brian Abatemarco, CFP®, founder of CedarStream Wealth. For the last 13 years, I have been accumulating the knowledge, skills, and temperament needed to manage your money and provide strategic planning advice for all facets of your life. I've launched my firm with a commitment to helping clients navigate consequential financial decisions. I founded CedarStream because I believe traditional wealth management too often stops at broad advice when clients need specific actionable guidance. Financial information is everywhere. The real value of an advisor is knowing how to apply it to your circumstances: when company stock dominates your wealth, a family medical crisis changes your priorities, or retirement turns decades of saving into decisions about income and taxes. CedarStream is built around three areas where those decisions demand focused attention: -Concentrated stock and equity compensation planning -Medical crisis and Estate Planning -Comprehensive Retirement and Tax strategy My purpose is straightforward: help you understand your options, weigh the trade-offs, and put a clear plan into action. I look forward to understanding more about you and your goals.
