Fiduciary

We provide the highest level of care and accountability. Everything we do must be in your best interest.

Complete Transparency

No magic tricks or distractions. Everything we do is transparent. Log into our online system to see your accounts any time, from any device, no matter where you may be.

Experienced

We have been serving client needs for over 30 years which means we probably have experience in situations like yours.

Local & Available

We are not a large institution. We are your neighbors who happen to offer financial expertise. When you call, we answer. We you need someone, we are here.

Different People. Unique Needs

Some people need help accumulating and growing wealth. Others need assistance with the responsibilities wealth creates. No matter your money issues, we will help you find the solutions which best fit

Retire Confident

Retirement is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but we have helped people retire comfortably and confidently for over 30 years. We can help you too.

Get Comfortable

We provide a safe and relaxed environment where you can be comfortable with your money.

Simplicity

It is our job to explain your money in simple and straight-forward terms, not to impress you with jargon and investment “speak”. You can never ask too many questions.

Investing, not trading

It is not flashy, but the long term outlook has stood the test of time. We seek to capitalize on this trend through patience and discipline rather than guessing when to zig and when to zag.

You are not your neighbor

There is no magic formula that works for everyone. We have the knowledge, experience and tools to help you plan and achieve your goals.

It is a journey,
not a destination

No matter what your stage of life and career, we can help you. As you change and grow, we adjust so your plan continues to fit your needs.

Putting it all together

All the parts of your life are connected. Getting to know you goes beyond your finances. We want to know your values, hopes, and dreams so your success is not purely financial. A life measured only in dollars can never be rich.

Wealth is not determined by money

Wealth is determined by love, happiness, and relationships. The number of dollars in your account does not make you more or less than anyone else.

Independence brings freedom

Our “product” is our guidance and advice, not specific investments. We are neutral and transparent when selecting the solutions necessary to implement your plan.

It takes two to tango

We provide the know-how; you provide direction and guidance.

The media provides exposure, not advice

In this age of information overload, there are an over-whelming number of financial opinions. We help you focus on your specific financial goals by using our experience and knowledge as a filter to cut through the constant noise and chatter.

Letter to Clients: 3rd Quarter 2017

It is hard to believe that 2017 has already passed the halfway mark. Seems like just a few days ago we were shivering in the cold and now we are sweltering in the heat. Of course, it will seem like a blink of the eye and we will be shivering once again. They say that “time flies when you are having fun” and I must be having a ball because according to my Broker Check records at FINRA, I now have more than 26 years of experience and it seems like only yesterday….

Letter to Clients: 2nd Quarter 2017

Spring is a time of renewal as we leave the dreary cold of winter behind to enjoy the warmth and hope of brighter days ahead. And taxes; let’s not forget about taxes. It is also an excellent opportunity to do some “spring cleaning” and get rid of documents. At DV Financial, we shred to protect your identity and encourage you to do the same. Remember, you can bring in any documents you would like to have us shred. Keep this in mind as you come across old and out dated documents. In addition to shredding, another perk of our relationship includes complementary notary public services.

Letter to Clients: 1st Quarter 2017

Happy New Year! Social media has been filled with the undertone that 2016 was not a good year. Perhaps in some ways it wasn’t. Sometimes I wonder if so much additional stimulus combined with the fact that bad news travels fast just makes it seem like bad things are happening more often. Regardless, I am filled with optimism for 2017.
