All financial success comes from acting on a plan. A lot of financial failure comes from reacting to the market. -Nick Murray

Over the years, Louie has also placed a special focus on working with employees at higher education institutions. His team has the ability to manage assets within these retirement plans, allowing him to provide a second opinion to their investment strategy. Oftentimes, employees feel the only factor they can impact when it comes to an employer-sponsored retirement plan is how much they contribute, but he works closely with his clients to adjust how their retirement dollars are being invested. He truly enjoys working with the employees of these schools and guiding them on their financial journeys.
Another area of focus for his practice is working with small businesses. Many business owners are unsure how to attract and retain key talent in a competitive labor market and haven’t had the time to check if their original benefits package still fits their growing company. Louie guides his business owner clients through a 5-step process to identify their goals, audit and benchmark their current benefits package, and produce strategies that can reduce taxes while retaining key talent. His goal is to help Business owners who work with him feel empowered and relieved because they have a competitive retirement plan that incentivizes their talent and allows them to focus on what they are excellent at, running their business.
