Brad is a stellar resource to use as a financial advisor. I have personally sat down with Brad to discuss my plans for the future and how to expand my current portfolio to allow me to achieve those plans. Personal Finance can often be overwhelming and speaking with Brad took that overwhelm away and made me understand my goals with an optimistic and realistic mindset. Additionally what is great is that he provides both active asset management plans as well as one off portfolio and asset distribution plans. This allows you to benefit from his services no matter where you are at on your journey. There are many pros to working with Brad. First of all being a financial advisor is a loosely regulated industry. Brad has gone the extra mile of getting additional credentials to ensure that he adheres to the highest of standard. Second, he isn't a fee based advisor. He does not get commission as many do and therefore simply gives advice that will fully benefit the client. Finally he truly cares about you as a client and it shows. I highly recommend him!
