In August, the US Government passed new pension legislation urging employers to offer investment advisory services to their employees. Financial Action Inc. offers a solution to this with the development of their 401(k) and retirement plan assistance programs which allow plan participants to distinguish which funds are most suitable for their individual situation while also assisting the employer in complying with any changes in law.
Financial Action, Inc. (FAI), a full service financial planning and registered investment advisory firm was created in September 2004. FAI is a financial coaching and life planning company that is comprised of top financial professionals with 30 plus years of experience. FAI has developed a product that offers full service financial planning and investment advice to clients via the Internet, with constant telephone access to financial professionals. This in turn allows the customer to address their financial concerns, educate themselves and work through them with a professional when it is convenient for them and in the comfort of their own home, or office.
Financial coaching is more than telling people where to invest. With the cost of living skyrocketing, families need to find a way for the dollar to stretch even further. "Take Financial Action" helps you with spending and investment strategies to meet your current needs, to solve your financial problems, and to free up your money for your future dreams; all in an environment that you are comfortable with. FAI’s service is built around giving solid non-bias advice tailored to your situation. Yes, no commissions!
FAI provides a barrage of financial calculators, personal one-on-one financial counseling as well as planning services in the areas of Retirement Planning, Insurance Planning, Budgeting, Mortgage and Home Loan Advice, Saving for College, and much more. Why should only the extremely wealthy have access to information that leads them to a healthy financial life?
FAI is has recently developed another interactive program that targets 401(k) s and other qualified retirement plans. “Investors Edge”, which will make its debut in early October, focuses on retirement plan assistance and education. It allows the client to log onto the site and have full access to investment advisors that will assist them to effectively and efficiently choose a fund selection and fund allocation that is correct for their individual situation.
As a veteran financial professional and also a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER PROFESSIONAL™, Shane Squibb knows the importance of developing meaningful lasting relationships with clients. “The overall response that Financial Action has received is incredible,” says Squibb. “And what we wanted to do was give clients the flexibility and security to address and educate their financial situation where they are comfortable. No stress of driving to appointments, no strangers coming to your house just you and the comfort of your own home and what it boils down to is that we are doing business the way that our clients want to do business,” Squibb said. Financial Action Inc. and Investors Edge has a current client block consisting of the individual experienced investor, the individual novice investor, as well as companies that offer it as a new benefit to their employees.
