WHY CANA FINANCIAL PLANNING?

I chose the career of a financial planner 30+ years ago because of the life-giving impact I could have on people from all walks of life. In removing the inordinate fear and confusion surrounding financial matters, I knew I could help people focus more on the “higher things” in life that go beyond “power, prestige and money”, and attain a happiness we were all created to have from the beginning.

In establishing Cana Financial Planning, I wanted to create a comfortable environment where one can talk freely, knowing for sure that the advice they were given was truly in their best interest. It is the reason I chose an “Advice Only” service platform, free of the conflicts that cause clients to wonder if their interests are truly being served.
