Sue and her team of certified financial planning professionals have many years of experience in completing thousands of financial plans. Having worked with clients ranging from $250,000 to $50 million in net worth, Sue's team can approach and analyze questions from many different perspectives. This is what they love about their work – examining challenging issues and troubleshooting possible solutions to address clients’ concerns.
Having worked directly with clients in the past, her team is well aware that crunching numbers is not really what financial planning is all about. They will focus on understanding the pressing issues, work through various strategies to tackle them, and clearly communicate the necessary actions without it seeming overwhelming. The delivery of advice and the ability to implement the agreed-upon recommendations are at the heart of financial planning.
Qualifications
Sue graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Commerce from the University of Virginia and earned a master’s degree in Personal Financial Planning from the College for Financial Planning. She attained the certified financial planning designation over ten years ago.
Sue continues to expand her planning knowledge through various memberships in study groups, attending conferences and webinars, as well as reading and listening to industry media.
Sue is a National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA) member and directs the Denver local study group, which meets monthly to discuss relevant topics and collaborate with our peers. She also manages bi-monthly virtual meetings with the Delegated Planning team to share information and discuss particularly complex cases.
