A.J. is a CFP® professional and one of the original members of our firm. He has over 20 years of experience in the financial services industry and helped pioneer financial planning here at the Advisors Group of Chicago.

 

A.J. believes in taking a holistic approach to financial planning when assisting our clients in identifying and meeting their financial goals and dreams. “This process begins with goal setting and understanding your STRATEGY towards meeting those goals. Important issues such as time horizons, risk tolerance, needs for liquidity, growth and tax sensitivity all play a part in identifying the ultimate solution set for each client we serve”.

 

“Because we are independent financial advisors, the solution set we recommend for our clients is based on non-proprietary products from the vast universe of financial alternatives. I believe this allows us to sit on the same side of the table with our clients and help them first develop and then effectively implement their unique financial plan.”
