Financial Planning and Investment Management for Businesses Owners

Journey Financial Planners is an independent retirement planning fiduciary firm in Concord, MA delivering objective, strategic and competitive retirement strategies for the owners and partners of closely held firms.

Integrated business and personal financial planning for business owners

Journey Financial Planners delivers responsible financial and risk management plans and results to business owners through the use of comprehensive, objective financial planning and investment management scenario modeling. Journey's fees are clear and easy to understand.

  • Business owners as retirement plan sponsors need expert, impartial management of their firm's 401k and other retirement plans.
  • Business owners as individuals want safe, smart planning and investment strategies for optimizing all their financial decision making: reaching their 401k and Roth retirement, college savings and life style goals, insurance evaluation and estate planning.
  • All clients want to know the planning and investment advice they receive is expert, solely in their best interest and not influenced by commissions or sales quota bias. As a fee-only firm, all Journey Financial Planners' compensation comes from its clients. Further, unlike commissioned registered reps at brokerage firms, we have a fiduciary duty to our clients and must provide advice solely in their best interests. We only work with best-in-class business partners and never have custody of client investments.
