"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

"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."

Cooper Financial continues to monitor my funds and eases my concerns so that I can continue to enjoy retirement and not stress about it."
