Our story. What clients say
Client testimonials and endorsements.
“Glenn is very responsive and knowledgeable. I recommended him to my adult children who are just starting their savings and investing journey. He took great care of them.”
“This company has been our financial advisors for years, they always have our financial affairs in mind when they are looking to make adjustments, they contact us about many things and were very concerned/caring when my husband was sick, making sure I understood everything. I wouldn't have anyone else looking after our financial needs.”
“We have been working with Glenn for about a year and he has consistently been a wealth of knowledge for our family. Our financial literacy has advanced a great deal with Glenn's support and he has helped us to make stronger financial decisions. It has been an empowering experience, gifting us with the ability to do more with what we have monetarily. Glenn has become our trusted go to person for any financial questions.”
“Glenn is a top notch professional. He is calm, patient, and knowledgeable. If you are looking for a financial planner that you can trust, you don't have to look any further than Glenn!”
“A fabulous story about the kind of guy you'll encounter in Glenn Scharf. I went to Glenn for some help; not for me, but for a good friend who was struggling to keep her business afloat. Given that Glenn is a well-regarded financial advisor, I thought that he might have a referral from his network that might be of assistance to my friend. In a 3 way Zoom meeting Glenn listened for the circumstances, the influences and the frame of mind of my friend. And so after he took that all in, he offered a thoughtful, sympathetic and relevant response. 3 months later my friend credits the compassionate and perceptive advice from Glenn as a critical contribution to her business turnaround. She says that conversation enabled her to “change her perspective on the issues” and “re-approach her circumstances with a clearer head.” It was a simple conversation. There was no money exchanged. It was all about careful listening, compassion and relationship; “Givers Gain” is its purest form. Thank you Glenn.”
“Great team and very knowledgable. I highly recommend!”
“Glenn is a very caring and knowledgeable professional. He really takes the time to answer questions and is very patient. His office is also very relaxing!”

Your Story · Are you BALANCED?
Two minutes. Eight questions. A calmer picture of your money.
Most of us know how we feel about our health or our work. Fewer of us stop to ask how we feel about our money. We created a short quiz to help with that — Are you BALANCED? asks eight quick questions, one for each part of your financial well-being, from knowing where you stand today to caring for the people who come next. It takes about two minutes, and at the end you'll see which areas feel steady and where a small step might bring more clarity.
