John Buerger, CFP®’s Summary

Business owners, entrepreneurs and professionals have special, powerful financial "tools" available to them which help build wealth and create a secure future for their families. They also are commonly exposed to risks that many traditional wage-earners wouldn't understand.

My pioneering work as a Wealth Coach is devoted to helping you harness every option available to help you enjoy a rich and fulfilling life everyday. The ALTUS Process blends comprehensive financial planning with personal development methodologies - and it generates results: clients who take action, implement their plan and achieve their goals.

I obtained the CFP® designation in July, 2005. I am the SLO area Regional Coordinator for the Ventura Chapter of the Financial Planning Association. I also serve on the board of a number of non-profit organizations.

ALTUS, Inc is a Registered Investment Advisor with the State of California which operates under the fiduciary standard of care. We are a fee-based advisory firm NOT affiliated with any broker/dealer. We have no products to sell - just great solutions and a process that works.

John Buerger, CFP®’s Specialties:

--- CFP® designation
--- Financial tools specific to business owners and entrepreneurs
--- Pioneer blending the disciplines of personal development with financial planning.
