For Brian, the best part of the day is when he sits down with clients and learns about their past and where they want to go in the future. "I want to know who my clients are, and fully understand their goals, before I offer advice", McKenna says. "That's when I truly add value to their financial future." He believes an in-depth relationship allows him to guide clients with the creation of realistic financial goals and a plan to achieve them.

Brian believes in providing clients with an exceptional level of service, and as such has achieved the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional certification. His main areas of focus are financial planning and investment advising for individuals and non-profit organizations, as well as retirement planning for both individuals and employer sponsored plans.
