Our Focus is on You, Not Just the Numbers
We started CGN Advisors because we felt there was a different way—a better way—to do financial planning and investment management. As a fee-only advisory practice, we don’t sell investment or insurance products, so we don’t receive commissions or kickbacks for making recommendations. We feel this minimizes conflicts of interest and is the most objective way to provide financial advice.
Why CGN Advisors?
We don’t answer to a big corporation, like a brokerage firm or a mutual fund company. We work with clients on a fiduciary basis, meaning our loyalty is to you, our client. We understand that each clients' situation is unique, and therefore we do not offer "one size fits all" solutions.
You have worked hard to get where you are, and to honor that, we work hard to keep you headed in the right direction. We keep you accountable to your future self, so that you can focus on what matters most—the life you are living today.
