At Financial Solutions Central Wisconsin, we seek to provide flexible solutions that allow our clients to achieve their financial goals. We help our clients outline and prioritize their goals, work together to develop a plan to achieve them, learn about the products and programs that are available, provide ongoing support during implementation, and work together to make the changes necessary as life changes.
Based in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, we are a local independent firm that knows our community and the people who live and work here. Because we are an independent firm we are not subject to insurance agency restrictions or limited to a selection of proprietary products. We are able to be objective in our advice and give our clients the products that are truly best for their individual situation. We strive to hold ourselves to a fiduciary standard – always working in the client’s best interest.
Because our independence is important, we have chosen Cambridge Investment Research, Inc. as our broker-dealer. Cambridge gives us the freedom we need to structure our business in a way that best benefits our clients, while providing us and our clients excellent service, compliance, due diligence, technology support, and one of the widest investment selections in the industry.
