What our clients say
My husband and I have had the pleasure of knowing Cindy now for a number of years in her capacity as our wealth advisor. We have the upmost faith in the advice given during our financial planning discussions. We highly recommend Cindy to create a plan with you to either begin or continue on your road to financial security.

Meeting with Shauna, I had an instant good feeling. She's an excellent communicator who offers options, with the risks and benefits, to help me choose what feels right for me. She is a very active listener, and is attentive to my needs and values, which she weaves skillfully with meeting financial goals. She explains terms or approaches I'm unfamiliar with, and I've never once felt intimidated. She never talks over me or at me, instead taking a collaborative approach. Most importantly, our meetings are never something I dread. I always leave feeling empowered and with confidence in both myself, and in having such an amazing consultant in my corner.

I remember my first encounter with Cindy. My wife and I talked to her on the phone and she offered to come to our home to discuss our investments and our financial future. She came on a Tuesday evening because that’s what worked for us, she sat at our kitchen table, and we discussed everything from insurance to retirement planning. We came up with an affordable investment plan that was catered to our needs. Cindy gave us a look into our future, what retirement would look like for us and gave us a sense of trust that our previous investment firm had failed us on miserably. We continue to work with Cindy and are very happy with our investments since making the switch. Cindy is very passionate about her career and very knowledgeable in her field, very organized and true to her word. She always picks up her phone and always returns calls when she says she will. My only regret is that I hadn’t moved my investments over sooner.
- John C.
As someone who suddenly became a widow at 56 and did not have any interest or experience in managing our finances (much less a small business), Cindy has been a lifesaver. Her support and compassion are second to none. Ladies, if you are like me, begin the process sooner rather than later as education is key!
- Heather C.
Working with Cindy and Shauna has been such a positive experience. My husband and I had talked so many times over the years about wanting to consult a financial planner but we kept putting it off. When we met Cindy and Shauna, their approach was exactly what we needed to get started. They quickly helped us identify opportunities to realize savings now and mapped out a plan for our retirement. Clearly, they know their stuff. But for us, it’s the personal approach that makes all the difference.

I have really enjoyed working with Shauna and Cindy. They both met with me to review what they offered to ensure we were a fit to work together. I was very pleased with the customized plan they made for me.
