Experience Makes all the difference

For decades, the Bixler Team have had a positive influence upon the lives of the families and businesses for which they advise. Both have a tried-and-true approach toward retirement goals coupled with solid backgrounds in the fundamentals of financial planning. Their philosophy is that financial planning is the corner-stone of successfully managing one's assets, and that diversification and asset allocation are at the heart of any sound plan . The Bixlers take a partnership approach with their business by forming strong connections with their clients, and in many cases, have worked with successive generations of the same families. Beyond retirement planning, their experience includes resolving estate issues and other financial professionals such as certified public accountants and attorneys to offer the highest possible level of service and ensure peace-of-mind.
