Meet the founder, Matthew Garasic.
My first return on investment came in elementary school after selling a pig at the county fair. I guess you could say entrepreneurship was in my blood. Fast forward ten years, and I graduated from The Ohio State University with a Bachelor's of Science in Consumer & Family Financial Services.
My entire career has revolved around financial planning. Sometimes I wonder how I got so lucky to do what I love from the very beginning.
I found my niche in equity compensation and business liquidity planning when I moved to Miami, FL to build and manage the financial planning department for a multi-billion-dollar RIA. I had the chance to work closely with ultra-high net worth business owners and corporate executives and saw how big of a need there is to capitalize on these once in a lifetime opportunities.
My passion is providing real financial planning to help people achieve what's truly important to them. In the process, I want to help break the stigma that expensive investment products, hundred page binders, and mahogany desks are what represent the industry. I want to be thought of as someone who really helps change client's lives through financial advice.
Outside of work, I enjoy training and competing in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, spending time with my friends and fiancée, and spoiling the company's Chief Happiness Officer, Frankie.
