At Birks Financial, we realize that the transition to retirement can be both exciting and sometimes complicated. Our passion is to simplify the process, remove any worry or concern and instill confidence and peace of mind regarding your retirement income plan so you can enjoy a meaningful life. We are an independent and family run financial planning firm. Unlike an employee of a mutual fund company, bank, or insurance company, our advisors act as a fiduciary for their clients and place your interests first. Advisors with the coveted CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERTM (CFP®) certification must meet specific requirements related to financial knowledge, industry experience and ethical guidelines.
