Chad J. Karl, Certified Financial Planner professional "Creating Financial Strategies for Your Retirement Goals." I see new clients not understanding what their previous costs for investing were. Chad J.

As an independent Certified Financial Planner™ professional, we offer a boutique style financial practice with concierge style planning services including financial, retirement, tax, estate, and insurance. You have probably noticed that I don’t often ask for introductions: That’s because I never want to make you feel obligated, put you on the spot, or make you feel uncomfortable. At the same time,

given all of the turmoil over the last several years, I see some things that concern me. I see financial advisors getting paid commissions upfront and then not monitoring investments or not getting together for annual strategic planning sessions. I see other advisors not acting as a liaison with other professionals, such as tax preparers and estate planning attorneys. For these reasons, if there is anyone that you care about, that could benefit from a complimentary second set of eyes, I would be glad to help them. Chad works with you to help effectively and intelligently pursue and attain your personal financial goals. Karl has over 20 years of knowledge providing wealth management services. He will work with you to create a personalized wealth management plan and long term investment strategies to potentially help you maximize your income while potentially reducing your downside risk, minimize your taxes to ensure you can afford to maintain your lifestyle, and protect and preserve your assets while making sure you have enough money as long as you live. Chad graduated from the University of Wisconsin – Whitewater with a Bachelor’s degree in Finance/Economics. Chad is a long standing member of AARP, Wisconsin Retired Teachers Association, National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors, Financial Planning Association, Financial Services Institute, and American Association of Long Term Care Insurance. Chad is active in the community and served on the Board of Directors for the Janesville Downtown Development Alliance and participates in the biannual downtown cleanup day, while donating trees to be planted in the downtown with each event. Chad resides in Elkhorn and has two fantastic children, Ella and Sam. When not in the office, Chad enjoys golfing, biking, boating, reading, skiing and traveling.
