Who We Work With

 

Our Clients

 

The people we work best with are those who are seeking to bring their financial goals and dreams into clear focus. Generally from the upper middle income bracket, they arepeople who understand that a well thought out plan will increase their chances of achieving their objectives.Our clients tend to be computer literate, hard working, intelligent and successful people. They don’t want a salesperson, but rather a financial advisor who is knowledgeable and who values their business - someone they can trust and feel comfortable working with. Being a fee-based financial planning firm helps us meet those expectations.
 


Common concerns we hear from prospective clients...  
 
Is there anyone out there I can trust? 
 
I'm out of my league when it comes to investments. 
 
I need someone to free me from having to keep up with investing    and to advise my family if something should happen to me. 
 
I have to be responsible for most of my retirement income.  I need someone who can lay out a plan and keep me on track for retirement.
 
Is any way to make college more affordable?
 
I want to take early retirement but how can I access my 401(k) and Pension Lump Sum without income tax penalties if I’m under 59 ½?
 
I’m retired. How can I be sure my retirement savings will last?

In our experience, people engage
Garrett Financial when they:

 
  • Want an objective and experienced advisor to roll over an employer retirement account.
  • Are unhappy with their current investment advisor.
  • No longer can or want to continue managing their investments. 
  • Want an advisor with expert knowledge in the college funding area. Typically, these parents earn too much to get financial aid.
