About

Mike founded Whitford Financial Planning after working in the financial services industry for 25 years. He learned the importance of planning ahead and giving back by observing his parents manage their household finances. Mike wanted to become an advisor so he could help people make informed financial decisions.

He started his career with Vanguard in a mutual fund accounting role but quickly realized he wanted to work directly with clients. While at Vanguard he completed the Certified Financial Planner (TM) coursework and first became an advisor. Mike then transitioned to Rodgers & Associates where he was able to provide more in-depth tax and retirement planning services and helped to build and manage a team of advisors.

At Whitford Financial Planning, we specialize in retirement, taxes, and inheritance planning.

Our comprehensive services are designed to coordinate your investments, tax strategies, retirement income needs, insurance, and estate planning goals. From day one, we work to maximize the efficiency of your financial resources, and as a fiduciary, we provide solutions that are always in your best interest.

Through regular meetings and communications we keep your plan on track by adjusting to economic conditions, tax law changes, and updates to your personal situation. With Whitford as your financial partner, we help you do the little things right and avoid possible costly mistakes.

Falcon Wealth Managers

Hi, I’m Bob Falcon. I'm the President and Founder of Falcon Wealth Managers LLC and College Funding Solutions LLC. I leverage my unique skills as a CPA (Tax) along with my CFP(R) to provide tax-efficient financial and retirement advice to my clients. As a Certified College Financial Consultant, I help families to minimize the cost of college by (1) making sure they get the financial or merit aid they are entitled to, and (2) identifying great colleges that are not on their list where they can obtain significant aid. After graduating from Villanova with a BS in Accounting, I started my financial services career working 9 years in public accounting as a CPA in Tax. I rose to the Manager level in a Big 4 Accounting firm, then broadened my expertise by earning an MBA at Kenan-Flagler Business School (UNC-Chapel Hill). Today, my goal is to make sure my clients do not pay any more tax than is legally required so that they (not the government) can enjoy their lifetime savings. As a self proclaimed "Tax Geek with Personality," I revel in helping my clients to pay as little tax as possible. I help my younger clients with their executive compensation (stock option) strategies as well as optimizing their employee benefit selections. For those nearing retirement, I develop individualized multi-year tax strategies that allow them to minimize their taxes on retirement savings withdrawals and to optimize their Social Security election strategy. In the end, I want all my clients to share their wealth with their children, grandchildren, and their charities instead of with the government.

Your Path FI

Hi! I’m Ryan Langan, a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, and the Founder of Your Path Fi, a fee-only financial planning and investment management firm. I help pre-retirees and retirees gain financial clarity, use their money to live impactful lives, and create their unique path through retirement. We are proud to be different from your typical financial advisor. ✅ Retirement Planning Focus: We don’t take a generalist approach. Retirement planning is our specialty as we focus on helping you reach retirement and make the most of your retirement. ✅ Tax Planning: Many advisors avoid tax planning. We understand the importance of tax planning as part of your overall plan, and we use our extensive tax background to incorporate tax efficiency and minimization into your plan. We also handle the preparation of your income tax returns. ✅ Transparent Fees: We love transparency, and you deserve to know what you are paying your advisor. We are proud to be fee-only, meaning we do not sell products or receive commissions. Our sole source of revenue is from the planning advice we provide you. We charge a flat annual planning fee that is not a percentage of your investment assets. ✅ Independent: We are not associated with any bank, brokerage, or insurance company. This allows us to offer true holistic financial advice without following a corporate agenda that restricts us or pressures us to provide advice only in certain areas. ✅ Proactive & Deep Relationships: You are not just an account number or investment portfolio balance. We believe true retirement planning starts with defining and understating your purpose, and we are genuinely interested in helping you define your purpose. We intend to serve a limited number of individuals/couples, allowing us to deliver a highly personal and proactive planning relationship. ✅ Virtual: We are located in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, but we can work virtually with anyone in the U.S.

Alegre Wealth Management, LLC

I founded Alegre Wealth Management with a simple belief, money should be a source of freedom, joy, and alignment, not stress. After years advising high-net-worth clients and leading financial planning teams, I’ve learned that true wealth isn’t measured by what you have, it’s defined by how intentionally you use it. At Alegre, I partner with professionals, families, and business owners who want more than just investment management, they want a thoughtful, ongoing relationship with a planner who understands their goals, values, and life transitions. My role is to bring clarity to complexity, structure to opportunity, and a sense of calm to your financial life. With a planning approach that blends strategy and empathy, I help clients design lives that feel as good as they look on paper. Whether we’re building a comprehensive wealth plan, refining investments, or preparing for a major life shift, my goal is the same: to guide you toward a life that feels balanced, purposeful, and as our name reflects, alegre, full of joy.
