The advisors at The Planning Center can help you set a course for personal growth, financial strength, and most important, the peace of mind that comes with it.

I LOVE WHAT I DO!
I've built my professional career by developing and maintaining trusting long-term relationships with my clients by listening to their concerns and delivering education, guidance, ideas, and implementation of sensible strategies - all with the goal of easing their financial concerns - and eliminating their worries. There is nothing more gratifying than hearing a resounding 'Yes!' when a client is asked if our work together has been beneficial.

I started Stanton Financial Planning to provide fee-only, comprehensive and holistic financial planning and investment advisory services to individuals and families in the Greater Chicagoland area, helping them to create the life they dream of, and the peace of mind they desire.

If you are interested in having a trusting relationship with someone who will listen to you, put your interests first, and help you with all of your financial worries, you've come to the right place! Contact us and let's determine whether we are a good fit!.... See More

Lois Basil, CFP
Basil Financial Group LLC is a fee-only financial planning firm that specializes in providing holistic financial planning services to individuals and their families.
As a financial professional, my passion is helping people make smart decisions about their money. I created Basil Financial Group to provide comprehensive and unbiased financial planning for individuals and their families. I love what I do because I know it helps my clients have happier relationships and more fulfilling lives.
When we start working together, we will talk about your needs and how you want to lead your life. My goal is to create a comfortable, confidential environment where you feel free to discuss your financial and personal concerns. Based upon that information, I will help you create a financial plan that supports your vision. The plan will be comprehensive and include everything from tax preparation and planning to investment strategies, insurance, and estate and real estate planning.
For all the work we do together, I charge just one annual retainer fee. That means you can meet with or speak to me any time during the year if you have new questions or as your situation or goals change.
I owned my own Chicago-based accounting firm for 13 years before enrolling in Northwestern University's Certified Financial Planner™ program, and I am a Registered Investment Advisor with the State of Illinois. I serve as an elected board member of the Alliance of Comprehensive Planners, a national group of fee-only financial advisors. I am also a registered financial advisor with NAPFA, the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors.
I understand that your situation is unique and that you need a financial plan that reflects YOUR life and YOUR financial goals. Why don't we get started today?... See More
