My wife and I feel very fortunate to have Mason and Associates managing our finances. As our financial advisor, Tommy Blackburn does a fantastic job answering all of our questions. His knowledge and insight allows us to remain calm in these rocky financial times. Tommy has a way of addressing our concerns and explaining strategies in laymen terms.
Kim and I live in North Carolina and first met Ken Mason at a seminar in Chesapeake Va. Since then, Mason and Associates has been a constant in our financial success, their knowledge in all areas including taxes, pensions and investment strategy is outstanding. Ken has always made us feel like family.
My wife and I have been clients of Mason and Associates since 2010. With Mike's assistance he helped to guide us through the retirement planning process, the retirement process and now into a comfortable retirement. His knowledge of the Federal Retirement System and the Virginia Retirement System were critical components in making this happen for us. We are always treated like a friend as well as a client whenever a need or question arises. It's a great relationship that I look forward to continuing into the future!
