Testimonials
“I have worked with Michael for years having originally retained him to assist with educational financial aid applications. When I wanted to get my elderly parents’ affairs in order, there was no question that we would retain Michael. I knew my parents didn’t have their legal and financial affairs in order as much as they thought they did. Not only was Michael comprehensive in developing a detailed financial inventory, he also made the process streamlined and efficient. He is experienced, easy to work with and he doesn’t miss a detail.”

My story
Mr. Bogdan has been a financial services practitioner for more than 25 years. He continues to use his well-entrenched analytical skills to the benefits of his clients.
Even though financial planning may appear to be difficult, it is amazing the clarity that organization can provide. A review of existing products and statements and categorizing them as to purpose or goal can uncover shortfalls, unnecessary expenses with competing or overlapping products, inefficient taxation, etc., just to name a few.
Our service is uncommon as it spends a lot of time focusing on the needs of each client.
For example, the majority of our clients are in the ‘sandwich’ mode- having to provide for children while keeping a watch on their own parents’ health and finances. Three generations are in consideration here!
Our organizational skills helps manage these tasks. Once organized, it is easier to complete college financial aid forms… and way on the other end- help clarify what the grandparents have structured in their estate. It is surprising the errors, omissions or outdated directives we have uncovered in our review processes.
We look forward creating a sound financial structure for you!
