John Harrington is a well-established CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ practitioner who has dedicated his practice to helping individuals and business owners gain control of their financial future to pursue their long-term financial goals.
With a strong background in estate planning and wealth management John can create a comprehensive approach that includes trust designs, gifting strategies, business succession planning, generational planning and asset management programs. In the area of business planning, John collaborates with the business owner(s) to implement executive employee benefit packages, exit planning, and retirement programs that adress specific business needs. Whether it is a confident retirement, wealth preservation, education funding, transfer, or leaving a legacy, each person is unique and requires strategies that are customized and highly personal to each client.
The first step of the process is an objective, comprehensive examination followed by an objective written plan. John utilizes his own team of professionals to work in conjunction with the client's tax and legal consultants. This assures that the client is well informed and in a position to make the best decisions possible. However, monitoring the client's situation is equally as important in order to make adjustments as necessary to accommodate the changing market environment as well as the changing needs and goals for each client. John states, “Our goal is to take the mystery out of complex financial issues and help our clients understand their various alternatives.”
