Michael Wagner
As one of Joseph Gunnar's most experienced Financial Consultants, I realize that each client's financial picture is different, and that priorities change depending on time horizon, how they accumulated their wealth, and long and short-term goals. I help each of my clients develop a strategy tailored to their unique needs and goals.
Joseph Gunnar is highly selective in the quality of Financial Consultants it employs. Financial Consultants must possess strong leadership capabilities, yet also be able to function as an integral part of a financial advisory team, knowing when to draw on the experience and knowledge of specialists. Above all, they understand the expectations of our most affluent clients and are committed to meeting those expectations.
