My associates asked me to pen a few words for this page of our website to convey
to our visitors who we are and what we do at Hinchey Financial Group. While I rarely
write just "a few" words, I think I can condense our firm's philosophy to a couple
short paragraphs.

I always tell clients that we are a conservative financial practice, meaning that we
seek sound methodologies to make decisions and manage assets in our clients'
best interests. I believe strongly that the gifts we receive in this world are merely
tools to accomplish greater things. I also believe that we have a responsibility to
shepherd our wealth in a way that is prudent and practical. The world of financial
planning is not an exact science. We examine and probe to arrive at prudent
recommendations. While there are no guarantees, and history is no assurance
of future trends, there is nothing like experience to teach us not only what we
should consider doing, but just as importantly, what we should consider avoiding.

We have succeeded as a firm and individually because we have the tools to assist
our valued clients in managing their assets and making decisions that can make
a difference in the quality of life that they and their descendants will enjoy. We are
here because we like making a difference. Financial planning can be elusive and
confusing for many not in the industry, and even for some who are! Our goal is to
assist you in understanding, and relating to, the choices you have available to you.
Perhaps you are worried about running out of money, or are concerned with "gifting,"
or maybe you just want to spend more time with your family than you do looking
at your check book. In any case, we invite you to visit with us and learn more about
what Planning Financial Freedom can mean for you.
