Our Business
We are a premier financial services practice. We strive to provide our clients with superior financial guidance, creative strategies and impeccable service in an environment that promotes security, prosperity and trust.

Our Planning Process
We believe in planning! The Harvard Business School studied their MBA graduates of the class of 1979 in relation to where they were 10 years following graduation. Less than 3% had written goals and plans, but those that did, had an average income ten times greater than those with no plan (What They Don't Teach You in the Harvard Business School, Mark McCormack, Bantum Books, 1984).

For this reason, most of our clients engage in a comprehensive and strategic financial planning process. We help them explore and discover their financial goals and dreams. Then, we help them reach those dreams.

Our Clients
They are people of means who are motivated to gain control over their financial situation, value professional guidance and are willing to implement changes in their financial lives to reach their goals.

Our Partnership
You may have seen Mary-Jo on CNBC Power Lunch or the Today Show, or may have heard her on Bloomberg radio. You may have seen her quoted in Money Magazine or, you may have seen her on stage at Carnegie Hall singing with the Oratorio Society of New York.

Zev is usually in the office, buried under a mountain of financial plans and business journals. Or, he may be at the latest industry conference exploring new products and ideas.

Bruce is usually out and about with his extensive network of community organizations and professional contacts.

But mostly, you will find us in the conference room with our clients. We take the time to get to know our clients, their financial fears and desires. We strive to successfully guide our clients to the pinnacle of financial success and security.

Variable Annuities and Your Retirement Strategy

An insurance product may appeal to pre-retirees who want to invest more of their current incomes for retirement and defer taxes on market gains. A variable annuity enables investors to pursue investment gains with the option to purchase guarantees (for an additional cost) to help protect against the downside risks of investing in the markets.

To Roll or Not to Roll: It's Your Choice

Some employers are encouraging departing employees to leave their retirement savings in their employer plans. But employees should make any decisions based on their own needs and concerns, not the former employer's. Read about the pros and cons of rolling over retirement plan assets to an IRA.

ETFs for the Conservative Investor

The number of exchange-traded funds has grown rapidly in the last decade. Total ETF assets exceeded $1 trillion in March 2011, an increase of more than $200 million over the previous year. This article explains the potential benefits of ETFs and why some of them might appeal to the risk-averse.
