Lighthouse Financial Advisors, Inc. is a personal financial and tax-planning firm registered with the SEC as Registered Investment Advisors.

An Investment Advisor is a fiduciary that has a duty of undivided loyalty to its clients and must deal fairly and honestly with them. Any person or entity that holds itself out as a financial planner must be registered. A Registered Investment Advisor is a representative of the client.

LFA provides sound financial planning advice regarding taxes, investments, insurance, pensions, retirement, estate planning and general financial matters, but does not sell products nor do they receive any type of kick-backs or compensation for products recommended.

We believe income taxes are the central focal point of most financial programs. Therefore, we offer an income tax preparation service, as well as tax planning and audit representation. These services are included under a full annual retainer agreement.

Our clients are individuals and small to medium sized business owners.
