01. About Us

We chose Core Financial Partners to reflect our belief that at the core of every relationship is open communication and trust. We learn what is most important to our clients and allow that understanding to guide interactions and advice. Goals and objectives provide focus, purpose, vision, and direction for the financial planning process and personal values and attitudes shape priority placed on them.

02. Our Philosophy

Unlike most advisors, we are not seeking to grow a large client base of “high net worth families and business owners”. Like our clients, we place a value on relationships and the value they deliver far beyond a bottom line.

Our practice is small, and deliberately so. Meet our team. 

03. CFW Client Experience

We welcome you to share your expectations of a financial advisor; such as how you'd like to be communicated with and how often you'd like to meet. In return, we will gladly share our respective experience, skills and value and how we work together to help clients achieve their best life possible. Learn more about our process.

The difference often comes down to a factor many retirement checklists leave out entirely: timing. A lot of advice fixates on a single number: the balance. Have I saved enough? It's an important question. But it assumes that two people who...

For decades, you trained one financial muscle: save, invest, don't touch it. Then retirement arrives and asks you to do the opposite. Nobody teaches that part. There is no course on how to spend the money you spent a lifetime building, so the discipline, the caution, and the watchful eye on every balance don't switch off just because your career did. The Switch Most Savers Struggle to Flip Researchers who study retirement have been paying...

What do you do when you earn well and have generally dialed in the fundamentals: save, invest, reduce debt, stay protected? The challenge was never knowing what to do. It's knowing what to do first, and in what order. That's a harder question than it looks. Each of these priorities is sound on its own. Max out the retirement contributions. Pay down the balances. Build the cushion. Put money to work in the market. But...
