Michael was born in Santa Monica and raised outside Philadelphia. At Georgetown, he double-majored in finance and small business management. Somehow, he found time to play varsity baseball, too. After college he worked for Vanguard, improving their mutual fund accounting programs. Then he moved to California, joined Alliance Bernstein, and participated in one of the industry's most esteemed advisor training programs. After earning his MBA at UCLA, Michael joined Westmount in 2011, attracted by a culture of people "humble and intellectually curious, yet courageous enough to blaze a new independent trail in our industry." He credits his grandfather, who emigrated from Italy as a young man and opened a shoemaking business in Elizabeth, New Jersey, for inspiring many of the personal financial principles he still operates by today.

Financial advisors and financial planners in California differ in their scope of services and qualifications. A financial advisor provides a variety of services such as investment management, retirement planning, wealth management, and more, depending on the need of an individual. In contrast, a financial planner is a qualified professional who creates personalized financial plans for clients, focusing on areas including retirement, tax, and estate planning. Planners hold specific credentials (CFP, CFA, etc.), and have a fiduciary duty to act in their client's best interests. To learn more, read on about the differences between Financial advisors and financial planners.
When choosing a financial advisor in California who specializes in socially responsible investing, be sure to ask the advisor about their approach to screening investments for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors. You can also search for advisors who are members of organizations like the Sustainable Investment Professional Certification (SIPC) or the US SIF: The Forum for Sustainable and Responsible Investment. Additionally, you may also use our free advisor match service to get matched to and compare 2 to 3 financial advisors who meet your specific requirements. To further understand a financial advisor's approach to socially responsible investing, consider using the following 6 Questions On Sustainable Investing That You Should Ask Your Financial Advisor.
When choosing a financial advisor in California, look for some common credentials like Certified Financial Planner (CFP), Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC), etc. These designations indicate that the advisor has undergone rigorous training and testing in the field of financial planning and is committed to upholding high ethical standards. To ensure you are making a more informed decision while picking an advisor, explore the 6 common financial advisor certifications you need to know. To further explore the various credentials an advisor can hold, read more about advisor designations.
To ensure that a financial advisor in California prioritizes your best interests, seek out advisors who adhere to a fiduciary standard, which legally obligates them to act in your best interests and avoid conflicts of interest. When selecting an advisor, inquire about their fiduciary status and how they will consistently prioritize your interests. To make sure your best interests are being considered, learn more about the role of a fiduciary financial advisor and the support they can provide.
A financial planner can help you choose the most suitable retirement plans based on your individual circumstances and financial goals, including a 401(k), IRA, Thrift Savings Plan (TSP), and cash-balance pension plans. If you wish to learn more about planning for retirement, read more about the 4 Types of Retirement Plans.
A financial advisor in California may assist you in reducing your tax burden through various strategies, such as optimizing deductions, implementing tax-efficient investment strategies, exploring retirement account contributions, and advising on tax-advantaged savings vehicles. However, WiserAdvisor's directory may not include advisors that specialize in taxes. In the "Advisory Services Provided" section, you will be able to confirm if tax advice and tax preparation services are among the services they offer.
