About Guide Financial Planning
As a young professional, Ben Wacek found himself working for financial firms with high asset minimums where he wouldn’t have even been eligible to be a client himself. Because of the business structure of his employers, he wasn’t able to help those closest to him- his family and friends.
He longed to work for a fee-only firm, free of conflicts of interest, where he could help anyone regardless of their net worth. He also wanted the freedom to bring the most important part of who he is into his work- his Christian faith.
Unable to find such a firm, he started one.
Here at Guide Financial Planning, we see ourselves as your financial guide on this journey called life. Money is confusing, but we’re here to help you figure it out.
