Leslie works with new clients in Georgia, along with existing clients in Florida. She also works closely with each planner in her firm.
As the name of the company implies, family is first to Leslie. Leslie became interested in financial planning when she witnessed the impact that her elderly grandmother’s poor planning had on the family. “The rigors of family life – from being a granddaughter, daughter and a mother – have taught me firsthand how important financial planning is for a family,” says Leslie. That’s why I won’t sell you investments or guarantee you wealth and riches. I will give you the time, the information and the opportunity to make smart, informed financial decisions that are right for you, your family and your life.”
Leslie has been featured in various news outlets, including The Wall Street Journal, Bankrate.com, the Sun Sentinel, the Stuart News and the Palm Beach Post as well as other publications. Education is one of the three areas Leslie focuses on with her clients, along with simplification of their finances, and plan implementation.
