Testimonials
“After the recent downturn Stephen was empathetic and personable. His team is creative and came up with a variety of outside the box strategies. He is very knowledgeable and his business model means that he is not tied to one product or service provider, which makes him relatively unique. I would thoroughly recommend Stephen.”
“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.”
“As a retired financial planner, I knew what I wanted in regard to appointing my own financial planner. I wanted someone that was professionally qualified, a member of a professional association, someone who had experience with investments, and a background in accounting was preferable. In choosing to appoint Steve and his team at Northern River, I knew that I was satisfying all of the above criteria.”
