TRUSTWORTHY
Advisor, sounding board, compass, coach.
We strive to deliver genuine value to those we serve. We want our clients to focus on family and hobbies knowing they have a trusted advisor skillfully managing their finances. We believe that integrity and objectivity is paramount.
WHO WE WORK WITH
Our clients lead full lives and see the value in engaging a professional to save precious time, steer their financial lives in the right direction, and avoid catastrophic mistakes.
Our investment management clients tend to be career focused individuals or families who own a home, are in a high tax bracket, have accumulated savings, and consistently spend less than they earn. They know what it takes to properly manage their investments but don’t have the time to spend on asset allocation and minimizing risk. They have worked hard to accumulate wealth and understand the importance of hiring a professional to preserve it and ensure that it grows at a reasonable rate.
Rising Tides Financial clients are largely concerned with organizing their finances, planning for retirement, minimizing their income taxes, and maximizing returns while mitigating unnecessary risks.
To see if Rising Tides Financial is the right fit for you, we’re happy to offer a complimentary 30-minute phone consultation.
Meet Michael
I founded Rising Tides Financial to help career driven professionals secure their financial future.
I dedicated myself to the financial planning profession because I felt a responsibility to my family to protect our nest egg and invest it at a reasonable rate of return. I pursued several advisors whom I felt didn’t have my best interests in mind, so I leveraged my extensive background as a CPA and Consultant to become a Certified Financial Planner™ and provide this invaluable service to others.
Like my clients I lead a full, active life. I live just outside of Boston with my wife and two teenage sons. I have a tremendous passion for finance and investing and place immense value in diligence and consistency. I enjoy running, yoga, Crossfit, recreational ice-hockey, and live music. I’ve passed my love of blues guitar along to my sons, who even let me jam with them every now and then.
