FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Title: Five-Star Wealth Management has recognized Financial Independence Planning, LLC as one of the premier wealth management firms every year from 2014-2022.

Conshohocken, PA September 9th, 2022 – PA Five-Star Wealth Management has recognized Financial Independence Planning, LLC as one of the premier wealth management firms in the Greater Philadelphia region once again. The recognition comes on the heels of Financial Independence Planning (FIP) being named one of Forbes Best-In-State Wealth Advisors. Founded in 1995, FIP’s founder and CEO, Harry Keller, CFP®, ChFC, CLU, MBA attributes the firm’s success to “Hard work, team effort and delivering consistent, best-in-class client service.” FIP President Jared Keller continues, “I’ve seen my father build this firm with countless hours of hard work. Our firm has core experience with people going through corporate downsizing and has helped many families plan through job changes, retirements, and other life-changing transitions. The firm also offers clients the convenience of accessing additional planning experience with professional CPAs and attorneys associated with the practice.”

One of his first associates and now a Senior Advisor, Fred Shocket says, “We have built our business by helping people who have worked hard to accumulate their assets, we call them the millionaire next door.” Senior Advisor and CMO Carolyn Choh added, “But now, as our clients have aged, we are educating them on the equally important challenge of how to prepare for retirement and spend down their assets.” Harry attributes a lot of the success to the team. He noted, “Our team of advisors has been with us for a long time. Many of the support staff have worked with Financial Independence Planning for quite some time as well. Our team tenure, financial planning process, investment committee, and investment models have helped our clients gain clarity in their financial plans, and confidence that they will stay on track so that they can trust us with the capability to continue helping them in the future.”

He added, “To celebrate the re-opening of the world as the pandemic begins to subside, we returned to hosting several fun in-person client events this year, so I hope our clients and friends who can benefit from an FIP experience will come to some of these events!”
