Palermo Wealth Management offers personalized financial planning and ongoing asset management. There are no account minimums, as we believe that everyone has the right to professional and affordable advice regardless of their net worth or investable assets. Who we work with Pre-Retirees and Immediate Retirees: Unfortunately pre-retirees and retirees are often targeted by the ‘sales guys.' They get bombarded with annuities, permanent insurance, and other commission based products that do not fit their needs or benefit them as much as they are lead to believe. As a result, it requires great attention to detail to prevent harmful products and bad advice that may ruin thirty or more years of hard earned money. Tell us about your situation during a free “Get Acquainted” Meeting and we can show you how our systems and processes meet your needs. Young and Saving Professionals: Setting good habits early in life provides the opportunity for more options, greater financial freedom, and best of all, peace of mind. Young professionals can face the obstacle of finding a fee-only financial planner due to the lack of a large investment account. With actionable systems and programs, we provide a place for young professionals to get advice that is tailored to their situation with no minimums and no product pushing. As a result of our structure you can remove financial doubts, establish a trusting relationship, and move towards your goals with greater clarity and peace of mind. Palermo Wealth Management offers a no-obligation "Get Acquainted" Meeting. Discover for yourself if our services are right for you. Please call or email to schedule your free, initial meeting....

At the heart of our approach is customized, comprehensive financial planning. We believe that an astutely crafted plan—carefully updated over the years—gives clients the best opportunity to meet their goals, from paying for college and supporting charities to retiring well and passing the maximum amount of your assets to loved ones.We believe Downing Street’s deep expertise in tax matters is an important part of our unique service offering. As CPAs, we are experts in estate tax and income tax. Most financial planners are not qualified or allowed under ethics rules to provide any but the most rudimentary tax guidance. Yet taxes are the largest expense that a typical individual or family pays each year. Through careful tax planning, we are often able to significantly improve clients’ financial results. Ask about our Tax Planning Blueprint. Investing wisely is a key part of executing a financial plan, and Downing Street employs a disciplined investment philosophy of buying quality stocks and holding them over long periods. Many individual investors make emotional investment decisions, buying and selling to an extent that typically ends up harming their overall performance. At Downing Street, we help provide the discipline that enables you to stay the course. Our approach includes building inves... See More
