Congratulations to my valued client Michael P. McDermott on the publication of his new book, “Financial Advisors Are Not Created Equal,” now on Amazon paperback and Kindle. This handy guide unravels the mysteries of financial planning and explains in plain English how to choose a financial planner. It also provides the rationale for why you would want to work with a financial planner in the first place. The author is well qualified; he majored in finance at St. Joseph?s University, and nineteen years later he?s a founding partner of The Philadelphia Group, a planning and wealth management firm with over thirty advisors. Focusing primarily on comprehensive wealth management planning for affluent and emerging affluent individuals, his firm also helps clients with 401(k) and pension plan due diligence and fiduciary consulting.
