I am especially passionate about helping professionals transition from a day job to full-time entrepreneurship. I founded Rowan Financial in 2011 as a side-hustle while continuing to work a full-time corporate job for the next six years. Through lots of hard work, a mix of traditional and real estate investments, and support from family and friends, I left my day job in 2017 and now love helping fellow entrepreneurs and real estate investors to successfully navigate this transition as well.
Our clients are:
– Professionals considering a real estate or other side hustle to transition out of a day job
-- People who want a fee-only advisor to help them invest in the stock market AND real estate
-- Busy professionals looking to start with a more passive approach to real estate investment
-- Real estate investors looking for coaching on real estate partnership formation or private lending.
-- Rental property investors looking for a fee-only, comprehensive financial plan
-- People with inherited rental property
As a fee-only fiduciary firm, we work for you, not for Wall Street. That’s why our fees are inclusive and transparent.
We help people virtually nationwide and in-person in the Lehigh Valley, Philadelphia, and surrounding suburbs. Interested in learning more? Book a Get Acquainted Call today.
At Rowan Financial, our mission is to empower entrepreneurs & professionals to create the life they have always wanted to live.
