If you’ve spent the last 3 or 4 decades working hard, raising kids and grandkids, saving for the future, and paying your taxes on time, only to wake up now and wonder whether it’s going to be enough, you’re in the right place. At Earls Financial, we’ve made it our life’s work to help you enjoy and preserve the payoff from your life’s work. When we add a client, we’re looking for long-term relationships with folks who will really benefit from what we do. We don’t want a bad fit for you or for us. If you’re a retiree, pre-retiree, or business owner and a few of the following apply, we’ll have a good starting point: - You’re a kind person - You’re within 10 years of retirement (before or after) - Your decisions are starting to become more consequential (e.g. your assets/income are growing) and you know you need help - When thinking about financial topics, you find yourself wanting someone to “handle that for you” - You invest in yourself and/or in your business - You’re a golfer - You’re health conscious (you want more energy and vitality through lifestyle choices) - You’re a life-long learner/working on being a better human - You’re a traveler - You’re a dog person If some of these apply to you, we may be a good fit to work together. If not, you may be better served by another firm. We’re looking for people we’ll enjoy being around — there’s no need for either of us to waste time/not enjoy each other.
