David Mc Knight, CFP®
My planning philosophy is to gather adequate reliable information about a client's personal financial situation; to determine the client's goals and objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance; to analyze all of the forgoing information in an objective manner and to develop recommendations for my clients based upon this thorough analysis and in the interest of rendering disinterested advice. In a planning engagement, I endeavor to consistently act in the interest of my client and to place the client's interest ahead of my own. Moreover, I believe that a client should be both informed and proactively involved in their personal financial affairs.
