Financial Planners in Chicago

“LISTEN UP, SISTERS! I realized at 50 that I should have retained a financial advisor several decades prior. I began interviewing people who came highly recommended, but one after the other were lackluster, inspiring no confidence that they would help me meet my retirement goals. Ten minutes into my first conversation with Karen I knew that she was put on this earth to grow my money and protect my assets. I'm from New York and she reminded me of my people: she is direct and honest but also flexible and kind. I trusted her 100% to navigate me through an amicable but financially enmeshed divorce. Even if you feel that your finances are relatively small potatoes - which is surely me in her portfolio of clients - she wholeheartedly dedicates her considerable knowledge and resources. Whatever you need - taxes, will & trust, financing your kid's college, long-term care insurance, real estate broker - Karen has the hookup, and every single person she has sent me to shares her high level of professionalism. Her son Nick works with her; if you have grown kids like me, you might agree that this, too, speaks highly of how she runs her business. Do yourself a favor and hire Karen's firm to take care of your nest egg.“

“Peter has helped us clarify our goals and by doing that our entire financial plan has come into sharper focus. He is easy to talk to, very responsive to emails, has a flexible schedule for calls and is able to advise specific to our case and give us general market and world advice. We have used him for years and I highly recommend him to all.“

“Carla Snedden has been extremely helpful to me. She has spent many hours trying to help me make decisions about my financial future.

“We have been working with Lestna Retirement for two years now. When we initially reached out to Vitaly, I had an expectation that his efforts would be geared more towards my husband’s finances who at that time was making 95% of our family's income. However, to my surprise, Vitaly firmly took hold of both of us. As a result, I became much more conscious of my business and developed a taste for contributing more to our family's income.Now, my business and income are growing, taxes and business processes are optimized, and our family finances are under control. This is largely due to the continuous work with Vitaly.“
