"We have been at Cooper Financial for 30 years and consider the firm part of our family. The entire team are absolutely the best and their advice over the years has allowed us to retire comfortably as planned. Cooper Financial has always been rock solid in their guidance through all the market ups and downs. Our routine calls with our advisor and the team are always informative and enjoyable and we are eternally grateful to everyone for their help during our journey."

Mark

MA

"My husband and I were recommended to Cooper Financial Services by close friends who are satisfied longstanding clients. The team has been great to work with. They have been kind and patient in explaining good plans for us at this stage of our lives, respecting our preferences in investment areas, and our risk tolerances. We also encouraged our daughter and her husband to begin working with them to organize a sound plan for their own financial future, and I can't think of a more meaningful recommendation than that."

Gail and Michael

CT

"About 15 years ago a friend suggested we call Cooper Financial Services after we had expressed concerns about our finances and investments. I'm happy to say that we've been working with the team since then. Initially they helped us simplify and re-align our portfolio after carefully analyzing our needs and concerns. This included help with 401ks, IRAs, and pensions, among other investment types. After a short while, due to health reasons, I had to retire earlier than expected. Our advisor gave us the tools and confidence to seamlessly make this major transition. Cooper Financial Services is always available to meet in person, online, or over the phone and they make sure all our concerns are addressed."

Andy

"Over many years, one of my biggest concerns was if I would be able to afford to retire comfortably at a certain age. With the team’s financial guidance, I was easily able to retire sooner than originally planned. Cooper Financial continues to monitor my funds and eases my concerns so that I can continue to enjoy retirement and not stress about it."

Barbara
