Kobie Thakar, CFP, MS
Sound financial planning begins with an understanding of your goals, dreams, and challenges. ADV Investment Management and Financial Planning was founded in 1985 by Anthony DeVito with the mission of addressing each client's unique situation. Drawing on past experience as an educator and researcher, Tony develops a broad investment strategy incorporating employer-sponsored retirement accounts to help his clients realize their life goals. Kobie Thakar has worked with Tony for nearly 10 years with a focus on creating financial plans, and then assisting with implementing and adjusting those plans as life brings new challenges. It is important to both Tony and Kobie that clients have a thorough understanding of how they can achieve their financial goals.
Tony and Kobie are fiduciaries, which means that at all times they put your interests ahead of their own. Strictly fee-only, there are no commissions, hidden fees, external incentives or bonuses for recommending specific products. Your situation and comfort level are the basis for any recommendation.
Tony is typically compensated for on-going investment management by a percentage of assets under management. If you prefer, Tony may also work on a project basis, in which case the hourly fee and total number of hours to be spent are agreed in advance. Kobie typically works to develop financial plans on a project basis, in which case the fee is agreed in advance.

Jim Marrocco, CFA, CFP
After studying accounting and finance at Georgetown University, I spent ten years working for an asset management firm (a long-short equity hedge fund) picking stocks to invest in and sell short. The business taught me a discipline about investing, how to understand companies, industries and market psychology. Most of all, the years of working, learning and studying helped me to develop an investment process and set of beliefs, which I strongly adhere to.
Despite not working in personal finance, I occasionally found friends and family coming to me asking an assortment of questions about taxes, investments and “the market,” among other things. While it took me a while to realize, I learned that these conversations and relationships were very fulfilling. And I also found how powerful advice, a different perspective or to be heard could impact people's lives. It motivated me to bring my skillset into a different environment to help a different community: everyday people.
And so that is where the idea of my business came from - putting together the inspiration of helping people achieve their dreams by using my investment experience to create positive change in people's financial lives. I am a true believer that it is through a roadmap that we realize our aspirations no matter how big or small. And our financial lives often play a large role in that. A financial plan allowed me to take this step in creating my own business and I feel that with a plan, anyone can be a step closer to their life's dreams.... See More
