Our Unique
Differentiating Qualifications:
Longevity Counts
Our firm has been providing financial planning services for more than 25 years. Our past work experiences in financial services goes back a bit farther to 1981.
Seasoned Advisors
Our investment experience and strong working knowledge of the State of Ohio pension systems (OPERS, STRS, SERS) goes back to 1982.
Master's Degree in Financial Planning
It should be a given that your advisor has obtained the Certified Financial Planning designation, but we have gone that extra step by also obtaining Master’s degrees in Financial Planning (MSFP- Master of Science in Financial Planning).
Forward-Thinking
As financial planners, education is a life-long pursuit… so we make it our mission to seek out new trends and information to share with our clients.
This may mean taking additional classes or pursuing additional designations where warranted.
Certified Financial Transitionist
Teri is a Certified Financial Transitionist® (CeFT®), trained in meeting the personal or human side of money while helping you tackle the technical side as well.
This unique certification requires at least five years of direct client contact and prior CFP®, a CFA®, a CIMA®, or CPA/PFS® designation.
Navigating the Two Sides of Money
We understand that there are two sides to money... technical and personal.
Both sides are equally important and complex, but it's the personal or the behavioral side that commonly drives the decisions being made.
Our awareness of this dynamic allows us to acknowledge a balance of technical and personal influencers in your larger financial picture and builds a successful strategy that is inclusive of all aspects of your thoughts, feelings and decisions.
National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA) Member
We are a member of this smaller sub-set of Fee-Only financial planners who have met stringent NAPFA requirements to be selected as part of this organization.
Founded by a Woman
Statistically 80% of advisors are male and less than 5% of advisory firms are owned by a female, so AFP is somewhat unique in our field.
We have continued to blaze trails for the last 20 years and are often early adopters of changes in our profession when it is warranted.
Multi-Step Comprehensive Financial Planning
Our well-defined planning process offers interactive meetings where we work through real-time “what-if” scenarios to troubleshoot our strategic plan.
For Wealth Management clients, we offer a personal financial website that offers access to all their accounts in one place. This central hub features their accounts (bank, investments, credit cards, etc.), insurance coverage, spending plan, and net worth, with updated content displayed on a daily basis.
This website also provides a vault for clients to store important documents such as tax returns, estate documents, and insurance policies.
Tools, Technology & Education
To match the rapid pace of our changing world, we offer our clients technology tools to help make their lives easier, more manageable and secure. We provide timely programs to our clients on topics they want to better understand.
We are committed to keeping our clients safe as they grow older. To address this need, we have incorporated easy-to-understand and practical tools and practices that allow our clients to be more proactive in what lies ahead.
