Meet the Team
Over the years, we have found that a team approach can be an effective method to help clients who have a wide variety of needs as they maneuver through a complex financial-services world. We invite you to discover and experience the power of our services. We believe it has far-reaching benefits for our clients to get opinions from several sources with diverse backgrounds, education, and experience.
No one strategy fits everyone, which is why every client gets our undivided attention—from planning to execution to follow-up. We take a proactive approach to helping you develop a strategy to address your financial goals and objectives, using the most efficient methods available.
Michael R. Acosta, CFP®, ChFC®,RICP®, CSLP®
Hi, I'm Michael R. Acosta. With over 9-years of experience in the finance industry, I have focused on helping others create better habits around managing their personal finances to increase the odds of achieving their personal goals.
My clients understand that their responsibility is to continue building their wealth and my responsibility is to help them protect it at all cost. I educate others through having compassion for where they are today and provide them with options on how to achieve their goals personally, professionally, and financially.
By focusing on what we can control today we are able to build an individualized strategy that is not dependent on uncontrollable factors or assumptions, allowing our clients to live the life they love and desire.
My wife Blair and I cherish spending time with family and friends and supporting our communities establishments. We are active members at Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church in Lancaster, SC where I am a 4th degree member of the Knights of Columbus.
