Mapping Out Your Financial Future

We provide financial planning services to
Chicagoland residents and beyond.

Making A Plan to Help You Achieve Your Goals

We can never fully predict what life will throw our way—but we can make a plan that honors our family, values, and goals. Our financial planning services take all of that into account. It’s not just about dollars and cents, it’s about the difference those dollars can make in your life, the lives of your family, and the lives of others.
Let’s create a plan that makes sense of where you are and where you’d like to be.

FAQ

Is financial planning right for me?
We believe that most people can benefit from having a financial planner. Our financial planning is suitable for young families and retiring couples alike—whatever your goals are, we can craft a plan that helps you reach them while keeping your values in mind. Many clients of ours are pre-retirees—within 10-15 years of retirement.
Do I need to be based in Chicago, IL for your financial planning?
While many of our clients do live in the Chicagoland area, you do not have to be a Chicago or Warrenville resident to use our services. We are qualified to work with individuals and families across the United States. If you are out-of-state or out of driving range from our offices, we are happy to conduct business over phone or video call.
What financial planning specializations do you have?
Fernando Ereneta and Jennifer Secola both hold the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® designation—one of the highest designations in advising. We are held to a high ethical and professional standard by the CFP board, only working in our clients’ best interests and not our own. 
How often will we meet?
We will meet with you at least once per year, but our team often likes to touch base with you two or three times per year to ensure your goals are on track
