Five Star Professional Credits Jason Lawrence, CFP® of Northeast Planning Associates, Inc. With the 2015 Five Star Wealth Manager Award
Newington, NH (PRWEB) September 03, 2015 -- “By taking the sales-y feel out of our discussions, we are able to objectively listen to the stories of the families that we serve. Through teaching and educating from an independent standpoint, we’re able to help families reach their financial stability and freedom. We teach and serve first, we don’t play the role of a salesperson,” says Jason.
Five Star Professional is pleased to announce Jason Lawrence, CFP®, Northeast Planning Associates, Inc., has been selected as one of New Hampshire’s Five Star Wealth Managers for 2015.
Five Star Professional aligned with New Hampshire Magazine to identify a select group of New Hampshire-area wealth managers who provide quality services to their clients. Jason Lawrence, CFP® will be featured, along with other award winners, in a special section of the October issue.
“My father served in the restaurant business for nearly 40 years. My mother was a nurse. Though I was blessed to serve families at MIT and Harvard with holistic financial planning in Cambridge, Massachusetts for a time, my vision has always been to serve families with the utmost quality of service and insight, regardless of dollar amount. I grew up in a great home with a great family because I had parents that worked very, very hard. My hope is to serve those kinds of families as well as high-net-worth families by teaching and serving them as if they were my own,” says Jason Lawrence, CFP®, of Northeast Planning Associates, Inc.
