Andrea began her career in a traditional banking center before stepping into her role as a licensed Investment Advisor Representative and has been in the banking and wealth planning/management industry for over 20 years.

Her focus has always been the same: tailoring solutions to optimize her clients’ financial health.

A goal without a plan is a wish—that’s why she establishes, executes and stays with her clients through each phase of their plan. As a Fiduciary, she will also always do only what is right for her clients.

When she’s not in the office, she enjoys being outdoors and volunteering in her community with her husband of over 20 years and her 4 children. She lives just a hop, skip and a jump across the border in Wisconsin—but holds true to her roots in the Chicagoland area, as she’s still a Bears fan and she appreciates a good Italian beef and Chicago style hotdog!

Austin has worked in the financial industry since 2011, spending much of that time as a Paraplanner and Case Design specialist for other advisors. Now as an Investment Advisor Representative himself, Austin combines his years of technical education and research experience with his clients’ unique situations, which requires patience, a good listening-ear, and a strong work ethic. He is happy to be at Wealth Financial Services & Tax Advisory, working with a team of advisors, specialists, and industry-leading professionals from various fields all under one roof. From this position, he can truly provide an enhanced, cost-efficient experience for the people and families that he works with.
