Areas covered include, but are not limited to: financial planning, investment planning, estate planning, retirement, retirement planning, education planning, insurance planning and income tax planning.
At Stark Financial Strategies we recognize that financial planning is a process, not a product. It is a process that involves discovering your goals and developing a plan to meet those goals. As your Financial Advisor we will do everything in our power to keep you focused on where you want to go, advise how to get there, and continually remind you of the importance of maintaining a disciplined approach to realizing your dreams.
Stark Financial Strategies is a company you can talk to and know you’ve been heard. We begin by determining our potential clients’ financial and personal goals. Although this process may be time consuming, it is critical to the success of a financial goal. We will create a plan that will help our clients pursue their goals. Money management is challenging even for successful people. Effective money management involves two important components: managing your investments and preserving your wealth. At Stark Financial Strategies we create financial solutions, and provide an extraordinary amount of personal service no matter what your profile as an investor may be. |

Frequently Asked Questions |
|
| Q. |
What is your approach to financial planning? |
| |
I prefer to work in a cooperative manner with my clients. Some prefer me to act as a guide; others look for me to lead. Either way I enjoy helping my clients set their goals and then strive to achieve them. Together we weigh the alternatives, balance the long-term and short-term needs and then search for the most efficient path. |
|
| Q. |
If you are going to manage my account, will you obtain my permission every time you buy or sell something? |
|
| Q. |
How much risk should I be willing to take? |
| |
I am a firm believer that you cannot put a price on “peace of mind.” So I will work with you to choose a risk level that will both work with your goals and allow you to sleep at night. |
|
| Q. |
Do you provide a free initial consultation? |
| |
Yes, I believe it is in the best interest of the client and advisor to have a no-strings-attached first meeting to find if they are compatible and discover what services are actually needed.
|
|
| Q. |
What is your approach to 401 K plan rollovers? |
| |
Prudent decision making should not lose out to expedience, especially during volatile economic times. I will take the time to explain what options are available with the pros and cons of each so we can make an educated decision.
