Mike Staman is the Founder and Financial Advisor at Delaware Financial Planning.
I founded Delaware Financial Planning to build the firm that I would hire if I was looking for an advisor. Flat, transparent pricing, and an emphasis on controlling the things that matter through deep-dive financial planning. A place to turn when you have financial questions but don't want to be sold any products. I’m applying 25+ years of experience to a select number of families, helping them maximize their financial situation.
I have expertise in retirement, tax, and estate planning, and especially enjoy helping with charitable giving. Focusing on mid to late-stage professionals looking to retire or reach financial independence in the next 5-10 years, my goal is to add massive value and improve the lives of the families I'm honored to serve.
Visit my website for more details and schedule an introduction, or just give me a call or send me a note at Mike@del-finplan.com. I look forward to talking with you!
