Michael Henzes, CFP®, MBA, EA Hi, my name is Mike. If you’re looking for someone to help you objectively answer a couple questions or guide you through the variety of financial/life events you’ll be experiencing over the next 20-40 years; you’ve come to the right place!!! My mission is to help you use your human and financial resources to live your best life NOW and in the FUTURE. Some ways we’re different from other advisors: Advice Only – Never worry about being sold something you don’t want. No upfront fees – You get billed after the work is done - not before. CFP® Professional – Rigorously trained and dedicated to your best interest. Choice – You choose the level of service that fits your needs. Low annual fee – Planning and investment management for one low fee. No minimum asset requirement – We base our relationship on the value we bring NOT the value of the accounts you bring. I'm originally from Northeast Pennsylvania (Blakely, PA) and currently live in Southeast Pennsylvania, Western Montgomery county (Pottstown, PA). I attended the University of Pittsburgh and finished my last two years at West Chester University of Pennsylvania where I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting. I went on to earn my MBA, with a concentration in Finance, from St. Joseph’s University in Philadelphia and hold a certificate of completion from the College for Financial Planning’s Elite-CFP education program. I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional and an enrolled agent admitted to practice before the Internal Revenue Service. I've accrued more than 23 years of experience in the accounting and financial services industry in a number of different capacities. Most notably, I served as a Regional Director for a leading global provider of outsourced asset management where I had the opportunity to work with hundreds of advisors and see, first hand, how great firms operate and serve their clients. You can learn more about my professional background here: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/finplanningspecialist/ On the personal side, I've been married for over 20 years and have four children. I enjoy tinkering, working on cars, being in the outdoors and I'm a basketball enthusiast. If you’d like to talk and further explore how we might be able to help, I would encourage you to give us a call, send an email or use the scheduling app on our website. I sincerely appreciate your interest and look forward to connecting with you soon. – Michael Henzes

You have worked your tail off to establish yourself and are looking for some help with the growing complexity of your financial situation. You’ve probably had a few jobs by now, a few different retirement plans, and maybe you’re staring at a growing checking or savings account that you know you should do “something” with, but just aren’t sure where to start. Or, you’re still looking at student loan balances and wondering when they will ever be gone. Traditional financial advice has exclusively catered to older people with large nest eggs to manage (read: bill), leaving younger people with water cooler advice and whatever Google suggests. Or, worse yet, they’ve had to get a financial plan from an insurance agent that just wants to sell them life insurance. Eek. All of this is crazy to think about. Younger people make a tremendous amount of financial decisions that ultimately lay the foundation for the rest of their financial lives, and yet they won’t see the impact of most of their decisions for decades. Marriage, family, moving, buying cars, new jobs, retirement plan selections, and on and on. All of these decisions have financial impacts I worked for large national firms that encouraged us to work with clients that had the most money. Over time, I found I wasn’t enjoying it as much as I enjoyed working with younger clients. I wanted to hear about new jobs, new houses, babies, etc. I found that I just really preferred to help younger clients make great financial decisions in alignment with what’s important to them and that’s why I started Meaningful Wealth Management LLC. My clients don’t think of their money as a balance, but rather what it can do for them. Maybe it’s a certain trip every year, or a certain trip every year when they stop working. Or, maybe it’s retiring earlier than their parents did. Perhaps it’s an addition to their home so Mom doesn’t ever have to be far away. Whatever it is, let’s build a financial plan to help you accomplish the goals that are meaningful to you. It’s no accident most of my bio was spent talking about you! That’s what’s important, after all. But, since you’re here to check me out…I’m a CFP® practitioner, a Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor™, and a fee-only, fiduciary financial planner that specializes in Gen X and Gen Y. I also specialize in the employees of Merck and helping them make the most of their benefits. I leverage technology to meet clients wherever they are (at home in PJ’s is fine!) and use it to make their financial planning experience enjoyable. I’m a “dog person,” and I genuinely love financial planning. I look forward to meeting you!
