Before we even got into the actual dollars, Pam spent a lot of time just getting to know us and finding out how each of us had dealt with money throughout our lives. She wanted to understand our experience so that she could give us advice that took our tolerance for risk and comfort with different ideas into account. She was VERY thorough in gathering all the information she needed, and continues to be very willing to answer the many questions that come up as we work through the process of making a financial plan for the future. The model she used to create a dashboard is very detailed and is giving us the information we need to make decisions. We could not be happier with the service she has provided and can happily recommend her!

My wife and I were looking for a second opinion on our financial plan a few months ago. Thankfully,…read morewe discovered Pam during our search. She is easy to work with, thoughtful, and very knowledgeable. Her initial approach is ideal and after hiring her to create our plan, we were pleased with her caring and detailed approached to gathering all the information needed to build our plan. She was able to walk my wife and I through our current and future goals ensuring our plan would meet our needs. We are so glad we got a second opinion, Pam was able to show us we were in a better financial position than we thought and was going to save us hundreds of thousands in taxes that we could use to improve the quality of our life style. The best part of the experience was when Pam was able to clearly show my wife that she could securely retire immediately. We had planned for her to retire this year, but she was anxious and unsure we were in a position for her to truly quit working. My wife has thoroughly enjoyed being retired this year focusing entirely on appreciating what life has to offer. Much appreciated Pam :)

I have a Mutual Fund account with Edward Jones and they've done moderately well the past few years. It's also an informative company that explains different Mutual Funds and which ones work best for you. My advisor, who I call "Mike D", really keeps an eye on my ever-growing nest egg.
