CFP®

Orchard Park, NY

Free Time Financial LLC

I'm a retirement focused advisor with over 10 years of experience. I specialize in tax-efficient retirement planning and investment management for those that are retired or within a few years of retiring, all for a flat annual fee. I launched Free Time Financial in March 2025 after spending 10 years working for a Registered Investment Advisor firm who provided tax-efficient retirement planning, but charged for the service based on how large your investment accounts were. That model never made sense to me, and I finally left to build a firm on my own terms, where I could take wonderful care of a smaller number of families and charge them based on the complexity of the service and not on how wealthy they are.
