Understanding the best use of your time as a financial advisor or small RIA owner is meeting with clients and prospects. All other tasks or efforts that take you away from the best use of your time are huge opportunity costs for you. If we can agree on this premise, then there are specific ways I will assist you in the best use of your time. First - the most time-consuming aspects for financial advisors providing comprehensive financial planning to clients is the time you spend on actually doing the financial planning! Step away from the actual data input, running the "what if" scenarios and all the rest. Utilize my strengths and experiences of working with clients through this process to create the plan deliverable for the client. I only work with eMoney. I believe cash flow software provides the best planning experience and it aligns intuitively with how I think. eMoney is my niche and expertise with planning software.Second way I will help you best utilize your time is with tactical aspects of running your business. You are the strategist - it is your vision you want to achieve. With that vision though, you may get lost in the weeds on what the best steps are to move forward. I will assist you with the development of the tactical side.Third - we all can benefit from having an experienced confidant/coach to simply talk things through and get a different perspective. Brand new to advising and looking to build a good foundation or do you have experience but have hit a plateau and realize your clients are not taking action? Have you lost clarity on your goals? Need a refresher on sales and communication techniques? I'll act as your confidant and tell you exactly what I think, help you develop a plan of action and monitor the plan moving forward. If any of this resonates with you and you would like to discuss more of the specifics - please reach out. I look forward to working with you!

I lead clients through transitioning assets into Vanguard accounts. After investigating the types of accounts they're moving their assets from and identifying their investment goals, I guide them through the technical aspect of the transfer process. I also frame opportunities for additional asset acquisition by highlighting strategic advantages of relevant Vanguard products and services. I advise them of any obstacles in transitioning, steer them through the process and communicate with them when the assets arrive.- Landed more than $40M in new business positioning Vanguard financial solutions.- Achieved a 77% conversion rate by building trust-based advisor relationships with clients.

While completing an Executive MBA program, I secured a pair of Pittsburgh-based consulting projects. I partnered with a Waddell & Reed branch office on a regulatory compliance project. I met with clients on behalf of Senior Financial Advisors to update the client records, gain insights about their goals and re-engage existing relationships. During this yearlong outreach effort, I booked and led 200+ customer service engagements with a 60% success rate.I also teamed with Sofranko Advisory Group on the rollout of a new business brokerage firm specializing in the hospitality industry. I strengthened the group’s existing owner relationships, scouted area restaurants and acquired additional listings through proactive marketing efforts such as cold calling. We conducted business valuations of potential properties and consulted with restaurant owners to determine the listing value. I also showed properties to potential qualified buyers within the Pittsburgh restaurant community.

As the bank’s wealth management insurance specialist, I collaborated with the SVP/Managing Director to create, launch, and lead operations for the newly created offerings within the Wealth Management department. I co-initiated a boutique-style concierge service for high net worth clients.

I designed, conducted and analyzed internal research to assess our advisors’ insurance knowledge base. After identifying commonalities and weak points, I created a training program to help them better leverage insurance products to meet clients’ needs.

I launched an American Express Financial Advisors practice (now Ameriprise) in the South Hills area and attained a Top 10% new-hire ranking within two years.

I grew my financial planning practice from zero to $15M+ in assets under management with an accounts revenue stream that produced 35% of total income. As a trusted advisor, I achieved a 70% close ratio and earned +95% customer service ratings, including a 95% customer retention rate despite the stock market turbulence related to the tech bubble of 2000 and 9/11 attacks.
