Debra Gallant, BA, CFP, ChFC, CRPC, MA, RLP
At Gallant Financial Planning, I strive to do things differently than most advisors. Through financial life planning and wealth management, I aim to help you create a financial roadmap that addresses all pieces of your financial puzzle, from your stresses and fears to your values and dreams. Two of the many ways my firm is different than many is that Gallant Financial Planning is an independent, fee-only Registered Investment Advisor (RIA). As a RIA, I act with the highest level of fiduciary care, putting your needs above all else. I avoid conflicts of interest so you can feel confident that I'm always providing unbiased recommendations and objective advice. With a fully transparent fee structure, you always know what you are paying. I conduct my business under a fiduciary duty and am held to strict codes of professional and ethical conduct. By working with a fee-only RIA firm, you can feel more confident knowing your best interests always come first. I primarily serve federal employees and other professionals, especially those who are about to make a retirement decision. Often, my clients are “middle-class millionaires.” They include folks trying to juggle saving for college and retirement at the same time, those receiving an inheritance and don't know how to maximize their new resources, as well as widows and single women who want someone on their “team” to look out for their best interests. I am always happy to meet with people who are interested in learning about how they may benefit from financial life planning. Whether you're looking for a new financial partner or have yet to start the journey with an advisor, I encourage you to reach out to me for a no-obligation conversation.

James McGrath, CFP, CLU, CPA
Financial Strategies was founded in 1984 on the premise that taxes were an integral part of the Financial Planning and Investment Advisory practice. Realizing that very few Planners were providing integrated Tax services, Jim McGrath started incorporating tax planning and preparation for one fee for all of his Advisory clients.
We currently use the groundbreaking Investment philosophies of Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA) to create the bulk of our client portfolios. DFA funds are only available through a limited, very selective group of Advisors, who have undergone additional, DFA sponsored education.
When Jim joined NAPFA in 2004, he was one of six NAPFA Registered Planners with the credentials of CPA, CFP and CLU.
We currently offer a free, 30 to 45 minute initial meeting for those considering Investment Advisory services. For those who are looking for more immediate answers to their questions, we provide a "Two Hour Tuneup" as a way for a review of your most pressing concerns.
