I chose to work to Vanilla Financial Architecture to get out of debt, start saving, and learn how to better manage my money. It’s been a few months now and I’m still in debt, but I feel much better because now I know when I’ll debt free. I’m also making steady progress towards my retirement goals. I really appreciate that Wayne took the time to clearly explain my current situation, then worked with me to develop a plan that I could follow. For the first time in my life, I really feel that my money is working for me. ~ Andrew T, young professional

I needed a financial adviser like my doctor and lawyer, one who I knew was only working for me and my interests. Dealing with insurance agents always left me a bit unsettled since I knew that they had an employer and its products to sell. Since deciding to work with Vanilla Financial, I have 6 different policies from 5 companies covering my house, car, life, health and income. But I only have to work with 1 independent adviser who sourced and put in place the best policy in each class for me. Now, I feel much more confident about my product choices and other financial decisions because Vanilla Financial not only works for me when it comes to all my insurance needs, they also provide the financial advice that was missing to help me reach my retirement and legacy goals. If you really want impartial advice and the ability to get the right financial products from the whole market from 1 company, choose Wayne and his team.  ~ Gail S, business woman

We were financially lost, having 2 small children and trying to complete our family home and dealing with one of us losing our job. We were unsure of a way forward until we met Wayne. He discussed with us our entire financial situation, helped us develop a detailed plan for achieving the financial goals for our family. We now have a clear view of our financial present and future, including the right insurance products for us, saving for our children’s education, a cash-flow plan and a better understanding of mortgages. We finally feel the relief of being guided by an experienced, caring and practical adviser who checks in with us regularly just see how we’re doing and to help keep us on track. There is nothing for you lose and much to gain from working with Vanilla Financial. ~ Mary and Robert G, parents

Having to deal with my father’s death and helping to support my retired mother brought me face to face with the importance of estate planning and retirement funding. I realized that I was really letting my own young family an myself. I needed advice, but my banker only wanted to offer me loans, my insurance agent only wanted to sell me another policy and my lawyer could only draft my will after I told him what I wanted. Thankfully a friend suggested that I contact Vanilla Financial Architecture for help with my estate planning and retirement needs. It was the best meeting that I ever had. We discussed what I was trying to achieve, Wayne even asked some questions that I had never thought of to help me get a clearer picture of my situation. We settled on a plan of action and now my wife and children will not have suffer what I went through because of a lack of planning and preparation on my part. ~ Michael P, family man

I have never had this kind of experience in the past with financial advisers and this is the kind of service I have been looking for. I knew how to earn money and knew how to spend money but when it came to financial planning I was not as enlightened as I thought. Buying a life insurance policy to benefit my daughter was all that I had done. When I sat down with Wayne, it turns out even that was really not enough to give her what I wanted to. We looked at my entire situation first, discussed what I wanted to achieve then he helped me identify the steps I need to take and the financial products and services that would need to reach my goals. I was not able to put everything in place right away, but I feel so much better now that I have a plan to follow and a company, I can depend on to work with me going forward. All financial advisers are not the same, some just want to sell you stuff, I highly recommend Vanilla Financial Architects to anyone who has the discipline and desire to take control of their financial life. They work for you and not for financial companies. ~ Sophia H, single mother

With one phone call or email I can contact the person who insures my car, home, knows how much is in my retirement fund, knows how much my life insurance policies are worth and who knows who the guardians of my son are supposed to be in case of my death. Before I had to deal with multiple people in a number of different companies, it’s such a relief to have all of these financial and life matters handled by one trusted company and adviser who knows me and my family.. ~ Anthony K, professional
