HarborLight Investments, LLC
Nov 2016 - nowFounder, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™What We Do: As the founder of HarborLight Investments, I specialize in helping senior software engineers and other professionals achieve their financial and lifestyle goals with our Financial RoadMapping process that will empower them to organize and plan their financial future. How We Do It:Using our Financial RoadMapping process we create a clear picture of your current financial life and then craft a detailed plan for how you get from here to retirement, or wherever you want to go. We help you organize your investment strategy to align with your values and goals. This frees us time and mental capacity so you can focus on what you enjoy.What Makes Us Different:We focus on you and your goals rather than fitting you into our expectations. We learn who you are and what matters to you first. Then we help you find a unique solution that gets you to the lifestyle you want sooner rather than later.Let's start a conversation!https://www.harborlightinvestments.com/book-online#Draut Show less
