We are pleased to announce a new addition to the SEP Financial Services team. We have entered a professional partnership with Marissa Rose, a Financial Professional of Avantax Wealth Management®. Through this partnership, our team will continue to offer you financial services using a holistic investment approach.

<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 Steve and Della listen to you (and your partner). They care about your relationship with one another…and with your money.

They 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 them 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.

At SEP Financial Services, we believe in you.

We always have the client in mind.

Our mission is to get to know and understand your needs, wants, and long-term goals.

We want to help you develop, implement, and monitor a strategy that’s designed to address your individual situation.

Our commitment is to utilize all of our resources to help you pursue your goals.

*Investment, Financial Planning and Insurance Services are offered by Stephen E. Plain and Della Lounsbery through their affiliation with Avantax Wealth Management.
