Tom

Business Owner

“Ethan is informative and never pushy; he outlines a clear path to follow for financial well-being and breaks down that path into different sections, which we tackled during different zoom calls. After each call I feel confident that I knew what to do with my money going forward. He and his team are also available to answer general business-related money questions; an invaluable resource if you're an entrepreneur.”

“I knew I needed to buckle down because I was making decent money with nothing to show for it. Ethan sat me down for a few informative meetings where he got to understand me, my goals, and my lifestyle. Within two years I was able to reach my financial goals, which I never dreamt to be possible especially in that short amount of time. We were aggressive but with the right mindset, anything was possible. And the greatest part of it all - Ethan made it fun!.”
