CSD Financial - Brooklyn (NY)

Ellie Hyde Always a pleasure

Andrea Kaplan I first met Nick 8 years ago while I was still in nursing school, and he’s been the most reliable and trustworthy guide for my finances ever since. Hes realistic, thorough, and present-based but future-oriented: helping me visualize action plans for my short-term, mid-term, and long-term goals—both personal and professional. He has helped me steadily grow my savings while planning for the future, even during stressful and uncertain times. Nick and his team bring deep expertise in new business/ tax strategies, investments, and retirement planning, yet always keep conversations positive, clear, and easy to understand. I really appreciate their quick response time and how they make sure I feel confident in my decisions.. I always leave our calls feeling motivated, as if I just went to a life coach. Whether you’re a parent, a small business owner, and/or just trying to capitalize, Nick is the trusted contact I would choose for financial planning.

Heidi Marion Renee has provided services to our family for decades. She is the consummate professional. She is trustworthy, knowledgeable, highly-experienced and simply a wonderful person.

Theodore Karabetsos Nice customer service and kind employees

Allan Roebuck Great place to work

Chris Dewards I’ve worked with several financial planning firms over the years, and candidly, most left me frustrated, whether due to inexperience, high turnover, poor follow-through, poor or rushed service, and a general sense that I was just part of the assembly line. Most importantly, I found that firms in the past were always ‘selling me’ on something (ex: an annuity or life insurance policy I didn’t need) vs. educating. About 3 years ago I moved my family and business wealth to AFG, specifically Steve Kennedy’s team. A few things that were impressive: Responsiveness- regardless of the complexity. Never issues sending an email into the void. Nothing slips through the cracks. High-Level Acumen without the sales pitch- Steve’s been able to navigate extremely complex financial, estate and business owner topics and distill them down into plain English. Support Staff- Whatever model they have, works real well. You don’t feel like you’re dealing with a call center but a well-run family business. With Steve and his team, we feel as if we are family. After years of bouncing between other firms that never really delivered, I couldn’t be happier with AFG. The combination of responsiveness, depth of knowledge, and the way they humanize financial planning is exactly what I had been searching for. — Chris
