Our advisers have years of experience in personal finance, and are are Certified in Public Accounting (CPA) and Financial Planning (CFP®).
When the public is surveyed about who they consider their most trusted advisor, the CPA designation consistently finishes first by a wide margin. And in recent years the Certified Financial Planner® has become the credential viewed most by the financial community as the leading designation for those providing personal financial advice.
The Vanguard Group® is the world’s largest no load (no commission) mutual fund organization, and has more than one hundred and twenty five funds available to the individual investors. Vanguard has the lowest cost in the industry.
While we often recommend many of the Vanguard funds, there is no bias in that direction. In fact, virtually any mutual fund is available to the clients of CIM through brokerage services.
CIM Financial Advisers is a Fee Only investment management and personal finance planning service provider.
