Michael McCarthy, CFP®, ChFC®, RICP®
As an Edward Jones financial advisor, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional and Chartered Financial Consultant® professional, understanding what is most important to you is my number one priority. Our 5-step process is crucial to understanding where you are at today and where you would like to be. Collaborating together is an important way to get there.
My focus is income planning in retirement. Looking towards the future, taxation is a key area of focus when putting together financial strategies. Without diligent planning, this can affect the ability to achieve ones goals. I work with clients and their accountants to review the current environment and collaboratively design tax-friendly strategies to help you meet your financial goals.
Family is very important to me. I am married with two girls, ages 13 and 11. We have "Family Night" every Tuesday, usually playing Uno, watching Wheel of Fortune and seeing who can get the most answers correct when watching Jeopardy. My wife owns a real estate brokerage, Reef Shark Realty, and both of my girls are in competitive cheer and dance. My hobbies include aviation, cars and golf.
At an early age, I knew this is what I wanted to do. I spent a great amount of time as an adolescent learning the importance of investing for the long term, and it has been a passion to share this to the world. Helping those in need is very fulfilling.
Having said that, I'm not alone. Thousands of people and advanced technology support our office so that we can help ensure you receive the most current and comprehensive guidance.
