Joseph Vecchio 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.
Financial planning is a life long process, not a single event. The process of financial planning is much more comprehensive and integrative than simply managing investments. The earlier the process is started the more easily you may achieve your goals and desires. Peace of mind comes from attention to all aspects of your financial life.
The Importance of Integration
Does this sound familiar?
- You go to a stockbroker for investment advice,
- An insurance agent to buy insurance,
- An attorney for estate planning.
- A financial planner for a retirement plan.
You end up with several pieces of your personal financial plan in place, but each was developed independently by a different person at a differing time in your life. Not only may individual pieces no longer be appropriate for your current situation and goals, but your progress toward your goals may be slowed because pieces of your plan are working against each other. I will make sure you have what you need and that your money is working as efficiently as possible. Learn more about our holistic financial planning services.
HOLISTIC PLANNING FOR LIFE'S TRANSITIONS
Financial planning would be easy is life progresses according to plan. But life is a series of transitions, some planned, some unplanned, and the financial decisions made during these transitions can be the most critical ones.
The time we take to understand you, your goals, your values, your relationships, your personal history, every aspect of your finances, and our availability to you as your planning agreement helps us to be effective, trusted guides during your life's transitions.
Most professionals—doctors, lawyers, even barbers—must meet strict requirements before they can practice. But almost anyone can call themselves a ‘financial advisor’ or ‘wealth manager.’ Increasing the confusion, advisors come with a variety of credentials, offer widely different services and are compensated in a variety of ways. Lastly, some advisors are legally required to offer advice in their client’s best interest (fiduciaries) while others must act in the best interest of their employer or the companies whose products they sell.
WE ARE DIFFERENT.
We are fee-only which means our clients pay us directly so we can focus exclusively on finding the best solutions for them. We do not accept commissions or any outside compensation. Because you pay us, we work only for you: objective advice, not a sales pitch. And, yes, we are fiduciaries.
Finally, we offer comprehensive advice. Your financial life is bigger than Wall Street so we go far beyond stocks and bonds. By offering an extensive range of services, we can coordinate all aspects of your financial life so everything works together to support your dreams.
