Each course is led by a local instructor and active participant in the financial services industry, experienced in the proper objectivity necessary to raise overall financial literacy about investments and planning strategies. Our approach to financial planning differs markedly from the typical Wall Street approach because it considers all available options rather than just the narrow band that is traditionally touted by Wall Street and its representatives.
