Choosing a financial advisor near Independence isn’t always easy—especially if you’re approaching retirement and unsure who to trust. Many people in this stage of life want more than just investment advice. They’re looking for guidance across income, taxes, estate planning, and healthcare—and they want that advice to be personalized and conflict-free.

W.A. Smith Financial Group, with an office serving Independence and the greater Cleveland area, was built with that in mind. The firm follows a proprietary framework called the Ascend 360™ planning process, which helps clients organize and optimize all key areas of retirement. It begins with a complimentary Retirement Tune-Up™ financial review that helps clarify goals, identify gaps, and explore new planning strategies.

If you’re looking for a team that values planning first and offers deep retirement experience, W.A. Smith Financial Group provides a structured, fiduciary-based approach that may be worth considering.
