About

Picture
Spotlight Financial Group, LLC is a full-service firm providing customized wealth-management strategies.  We listen, first and foremost! We want to know what you need, want, and hope for—once we have identified these things, we can get to work, making and executing a plan that is in your best interest.
 
We have three locations to serve you, and you are welcome to meet at any one of our offices; however, we are kind of like the old-fashioned family doctor, in that we prefer to come to you, in the comfort of your own home, so that we can get a better feel for what you want your retirement journey to look like. We look at this next phase in your life as puzzle pieces that you may need help putting together to complete a comprehensive retirement plan. We are not “captive agents” and work with many different carriers, which lets us fine tune what fits your needs best.
 
Asking you Discovery questions is Number One. Then we do our due diligence to analyze your needs and desires, before finalizing a plan to help you achieve your retirement goals. By putting in place a structured retirement plan, we intend to have that plan give you confidence, so that you can truly focus on your family and enjoying your retirement future. We will continue to keep in touch with you in the event that things change and your plan may need some adjustments.  We know that everyone has a mom, dad, brother, or sister, and we want them proud of the work we did for you to preserve your retirement future.
