<strong>Your goals are our goals.</strong>

Your goals are our goals.

At SEP Financial Services, we work together, hand in hand, with all your goals and dreams firmly in mind. We get to know you, your spouse, and your family. We like to put faces with the names. So many of our clients are with us for many years, over generations. It is a pleasure to see them through the important milestones of life, education planning, home ownership, wealth management, weddings, grandchildren, travel and retirement...

"We love seeing our clients and friends reach their financial goals, whether it's living comfortably in retirement or buying their dream home! Nothing is more satisfying than to know, we assisted them in laying the ground work for achieving their personal financial success!" - Steve Plain, CPA/PFS

Trust. The first step on your path to financial wellness.

You and your partner have worked really-hard and made many sacrifices along the way.

Finally, you have a little nest egg and you want to see it grow...

Problem is, there are a million options out there and you have no idea where to start or most importantly, who to trust?

Choosing a Financial Advisor you not only trust, but who really listens to your ideas and believes in your goals is key in laying the foundation for a long-lasting relationship.

At SEP Financial Services, you will find that we listen to you (and your partner). We care about your relationship with one another…and with your money.

We will help you explore your individual and collective financial strengths and weaknesses and learn more about, what is keeping you both up at night?

Understanding the true picture of you will assist us in identifying your goals and creating a plan toward achieving them 

Money, just like marriage is a sensitive topic to navigate. Couples tend to bring their own thoughts and ideas about money into a marriage and often-times, find that they may not be on the same page in terms of spending and saving. 

A solid financial plan can help set you on the path toward finding financial wellness and reducing relationship stress.
