Prior to entering the world of Financial Planning & Analysis, I worked in the finance industry in a different capacity. I was a fully credentialed Financial Advisor (with Series 7, 6 and 63 licenses and working towards my CFP designation) working under the Prudential company umbrella.A self-starter, I created my own network of clients. And as their trusted financial advisor, I evaluated their current financial health, short term and long term financial objectives, and recommended products that can help them achieve those goals. I offered and marketed a wide range of products that included stocks, mutual funds and life insurance options. Each client was unique and was provided with a customized portfolio to financial success. To monitor progress and adjust for any necessary changes, I also conducted regular update meetings (quarterly, semi-annual and annual).
