Cheryl Vesely is a Member of the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors
The National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA) is a leading professional association of Fee-Only financial advisors - highly trained professionals who are committed to working in the best interests of those they serve.
NAPFA members live by three important values:
- To be the beacon for independent, objective financial advice for individuals and families.
- To be the champion of financial services delivered in the public interest.
- To be the standard bearer for the emerging profession of financial planning.
I started Balance Financial Planning with a desire to provide objective, practical financial planning and investing advice to help individuals and families manage their finances and plan for the future.
Having a plan in place for your finances is the first step to reaching many of your goals. Whether it’s saving for retirement, starting your own business, staying home with the kids, or traveling around the world, having a plan in place today will give you more options and freedom in the future.
I help people find strategies to reach their goals and develop personal plans that create a more organized and less stressful financial life. My investing philosophy is to use mainly low cost index and exchange-traded funds to design a diversified portfolio that builds wealth over time.
