Kelly (Cal) Ausburn, CFP, AIF

Executive Certified Financial Planner (CFP) @ HUB International

About

I believe that everyone deserves a financial education and help from a financial professional that they can trust not to overcharge and underserve them. We don't need an industry of order-takers and investment portfolio builders that charge 1% per year to smile, shake hands and enter data into software. Finance, actual finance, takes broad knowledge across many different disciplines - taxes, investing, regulations, law. We should be compensated for the value and experience we bring, not for bringing customers to a table they could have managed to find themselves. We should be acting as a fiduciary at all times, with our client's best interests first. We need to do better.
