David Samir, CFP®
As a Certified Financial Planner® (CFP®), I specialize in working with high-net-worth individuals and families to craft personalized financial strategies that align with their unique goals since 2008. Whether it’s investment management, credit planning, tax planning, estate planning, or retirement strategies, I focus on providing comprehensive solutions that preserve and grow wealth for the long term.
I am passionate about guiding clients through the complexities of financial decision-making, ensuring they have a clear and actionable plan that reflects their ambitions and priorities. With a deep understanding of the intricacies of wealth management, I strive to create strategies that not only protect but also maximize opportunities for financial success.
Outside of work, I’m a proud father of two young boys, and my family is at the center of my world. Balancing my professional expertise with a fulfilling family life allows me to bring a grounded, holistic approach to the financial planning process—focused on both present enjoyment and future security.
Let’s work together to build a tailored financial plan that meets your needs today and secures your future tomorrow.
