“I retired earlier than planned to help care for my wife. After she passed, I needed help getting my bearings and understanding how my finances looked going forward. Brandon helped clean up accounts and documents, update beneficiaries on accounts, pay off the mortgage, set up automatic bill pay, and reassure me that I had enough saved to stay retired.
He lifted a great weight off my shoulders.”
