As a fiduciary and fee-only financial planning firm, our team's focus is to offer unbiased financial advice to help you achieve your financial goals. - Christopher Congema, CFP®
Fee-Only Financial Planner with an SEC Registered Investment Advisory firm

Christopher Congema is a Long Island based, NY fee-only financial planner. Landmark Wealth Management, LLC based on Long Island in Melville, New York with conference centers located in Hauppauge, Uniondale, Manhattan, and Naples, Florida. Landmark Wealth Managment, LLC provides comprehensive and objective financial planning to help clients organize, grow and protect their assets through life’s transitions. As a fee-only, fiduciary, and independent financial advisor, Christopher Congema is never paid a commission of any kind, and has a legal obligation to provide unbiased and trustworthy financial advice.
A CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, Chris Congema is proud to be partners with Brian Cohen and Joseph Favorito (also a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™) of a comprehensive financial planning and investment management firm, Landmark Wealth Managment, LLC. The firm is located in Melville, NY, with other available conference centers located in Uniondale and Hauppauge. While many of the clients are on Long Island, they serve individuals, families, small business owners, and charitable foundations throughout the country.
Landmark takes a holistic approach to financial planning. Advice is never focused on the sale of a product or security. Rather the complete financial picture of each individual client is taken into account while assessing their personal goals and financial circumstances. Typically a “Financial Stress Test” is run by first analyzing factors such as:
- Income
- Expenses
- Assets
- Insurance Coverage
- Estate Planning
- Tax Planning
- Retirement Goals
- College Planning
Once the appropriate measurement of risk is addressed, an investment portfolio is constructed using a Strategic Asset Allocation. Investment solutions are prescribed based on the most cost effective and appropriate solutions available within the marketplace. Investment selections with a focus and emphasis on wealth accumulation, preservation, and wealth transfer are utilized.
Guidance is driven by the belief that a client’s complete wealth management profile must be the paramount focus when addressing their financial plan.
