Member Since 2004

At Valeo, we use our EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE and CONSERVATIVE CREATIVITY to help our clients achieve their financial goals. We are FEE-ONLY, thus we sell no products. We are COMPREHENSIVE, focusing on all aspects of a client\'s financial affairs (cash flow, investments, insurance, tax, estate, education, debt, etc). We are REASONABLY PRICED and post our fee schedule right on our website (www.valeofinancial.com). We LIMIT the number of clients each of our advisors work with to less than 50 to ensure the highest possible level of service.
