Having worked with hundreds of families as a Certified Financial Planner(TM) from my offices in Manhattan and Kinderhook, NY, I am still surprised by how few have taken time to consider and prioritize the goals most likely to help them feel financially, professionally, and charitably fulfilled. My mission is to help you identify those priorities that could set you on a path to financial wellbeing

—whether it be maintaining a career that pays little but fulfills a lot; financially supporting other family members; sending your children to elite colleges; or making significant charitable contributions to causes you care about. I then apply my quantitative knowledge, ranging from complex tax planning to charitable trust strategizing to custom portfolio management--to set you on a path to meet those goals. Meet Marisa:
