What Out Others Are Saying....

Every parent of a student going off to college, regardless of their financial situation, should have Roman guide them through the complex financial aid process.  

 

Ron & Heather O.

Because​ ​the​ ​college​ ​application process​ ​is​ ​so​ ​involved​ ​and​ ​unique,​ ​financial​ ​planners​ ​often​ ​lack​ ​the​ ​details​ ​to​ ​correctly​ ​guide families​ ​to​ ​make​ ​choices​ ​​that​ ​lead​ ​to​ ​adequate financial​ ​aid​ ​in​ ​college.​ ​Roman​ ​is​ ​an​ ​expert.

Sounds like a good place to start, Roman. I imagine we will need to supplement the group course with some private consulting, but the "mastermind" group probably will help us better focus our session time with you.
