Perpetually Looking Forward

We want to take a moment to share our appreciation to all of our clients, team members, partners, and friends of the firm who have positively impacted Simon Quick Advisors this past year. Since the start of 2018, we have expanded into Chattanooga, launched a new website, added equity principals, and given back to the local community through our Annual Golf Outing and community service day. See our newest initiatives, offices, and team members below!

The case studies presented are real descriptions of actual client relationships. We have protected the identity of the clients by changing names and locations. Given that many of our clients experience similar life events, the case studies are designed to depict the value proposition Simon Quick Advisors brings to the table. Each family we work with is unique. There is no “cookie cutter” set of solutions. We bring our full set of resources to the table to solve, educate, implement, and monitor.

Life is full of unexpected twists and turns. While we may start out in one career, our experiences may show us other areas we want to pursue, needs that aren’t being met, or open doors to new opportunities. That’s exactly how I found my way into my career as a financial advisor.

I have always been interested in the world of finance. I studied finance in college and, with a desire to manage my own money, I decided I also wanted to help others do the same. This inspired me to become a financial advisor, and this has driven me ever since.

Estate planning is often one of those things that people tend to put off for one reason or another. Maybe they don’t want to think about their own mortality, or they think it will be too expensive. Or maybe they just don’t think it’s necessary. In fact, over half of Americans have not done any estate planning.

With identity theft and data breaches on the rise, it’s normal to feel a bit nervous. After all, no matter how many precautions you take, it’s almost impossible to protect all your data, all the time; and if it falls into the wrong hands, you could be in for a world of hurt. At least that was the case until a new law passed in September 2018 allowing anyone to freeze and unfreeze their credit for free.

One of the best ways to decide what career is best for you is to dip your toes into a particular industry and gain hands-on experience. This is how I indirectly found my way into the financial services industry. I was initially drawn to the field of law, but after working at a law firm during high school, I quickly realized it wasn’t the right fit for me.
