What has changed?
We have launched our own independent wealth management firm, StrateFi. Though we have gone independent, our mission remains the same: to empower our clients to continue making financial strides with our guidance, reaching their goals, and ultimately achieving financial independence.
What motivated you to make the change?
Just like life constantly presents different paths to choose from, we knew that it was time to step into and build our own independent wealth management firm. Every client has specific needs, goals, and objectives and we strongly believe that with our new firm we are able to provide an even better pathway for our clients.
Why did you choose to affiliate with LPL Financial?
LPL Financial makes it easy for advisors to make this transition to independence as smooth as possible. Taking this route to open our own wealth management firm was a big decision. We took our time assessing what would best serve our clients and our team and it became clear that the right route to take was with LPL Financial.
How did you choose your name?
We wanted to create a name that embodies the true essence of our firm and what we provide to our clients. StrateFi was originated by uniting words, ‘Strategy’ and ‘Financial Independence’.
