Testimonials
“I recently started with Steve. I was retired and looking for income from my investments. I have been very satisfied with his service. He is above all, reachable. If I cannot get him on the phone immediately, he or a member of his team promptly return my calls. I feel no hesitation in calling them with any question or inquiry. Steve keeps me informed of any new opportunities and rarely recommends anything that doesn’t suit me. He has taken the time to understand my comfort zone.”
“When it came to financial planning we were novices. After meeting with Stephen, we took on his recommendations and we are extremely pleased with the decision we made. We find the entire Northern River Financial team pleasant at all times and easy to work with. They are always contactable, courteous and helpful and they are so easy to recommend to others.”
“I met Steve through a local networking group. I was impressed immediately by his understanding of Financial Planning, but was more so drawn to his relationship-building approach, rather than a sales pitch that you see in so many other advisors. As an entrepreneur, it’s never easy keeping all “the balls in the air” as it were. It’s nice to know when it comes to planning my financial future I can confidently leave it in Northern River Financials’ good hands.”
