Independent Financial Planner Western Suburbs

Hi L., we work with Zac Larson ###-###-####) and while he is affiliated with Thrivent I do believe because it is a faith based organization and because Zac is such an outstanding person there is never any pressure to do anything because he would benefit from commission. I urge you to call him, I think you'd be extremely pleased with him.

We recently used Laurie Blazek ###-###-#### in River Forest and we were very pleased with her assessment and the information she provided. She looked at all of our information and provided a comprehensive financial plan, including correctly balancing our portfolio and she recommended specific funds. She is completely independent of any firm. I found her listing and other fee-based financial advisors on the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors website: www.napfa.org

John Westerfield, Fire Tree Financial (offices in St. Charles and Naperville). He works with a group. I am not sure how they work out their financial planning fees, as I have only used him for my 401-K and other investments. But he is very honest and explains things well and I think he's a great guy.
