It was a great afternoon at Kirke's Homemade Ice Cream raising money for the United Way of the Upper Ohio Valley! A big thanks to our clients, family and friends that showed up and helped us support the community and win the Golden Scoop (sorry, Youth Services System, Inc.! 😉).

Yesterday, we had some very special visitors at DeFranco Financial! We were excited to welcome the House of the Carpenter Pathways for Success Summer Students for a morning of hands-on financial learning.

Our advisors, Dustin, Josh, and Paul, spent time showing the students what financial advisors really do—not just investing money, but helping people create a plan for their future.
Through interactive activities, students discovered the importance of starting early, making informed choices, and diversifying investments.

They also took on our Compound Candy Challenge, where they saw firsthand how the power of compound growth can turn small, consistent investments into something much bigger over time—and how taxes can affect those results.

A big thank you to House of the Carpenter for allowing us to spend the morning with such an engaged group of students. We hope they left feeling more confident about their financial futures and inspired to start building smart money habits early!
