Andrew Hathaway

Andrew Hathaway, CCFS®

Co-Founder & College Funding Specialist

After years of working with my clients and helping them plan for retirement, it became clear to me that paying for college is one of the biggest barriers to a secure financial future.

Over the course of time, I began to learn about different strategies available to maximize financial aid and to reduce out of pocket costs. With my background in financial planning, I was able to combine these two disciplines to save parents time, energy, money through the process of sending their children to college.

Our goal is to prevent you from becoming a casualty of the "system" before your kids go to school, not after.

Andrew is a Certified College Funding Specialist (CCFS). He also has a Series 65 and life insurance licenses.
