General

Michael Frontera is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional and member of the Financial Planning Association. Serving clients at Retirement Theory in Malta, NY and the surrounding communities.

Financial Advisor Overview

I have dedicated my practice to helping those between 55 and 70 years of age plan for their retirement -- and maintain their lifestlye once they get there. This narrow focus has allowed me to devote all of my time and energy to most effectively serve the needs of people during this time in their lives. I am a Retirement Income Certified Professional®. I earned this designation to further strengthen my ability to provide expert advice on retirement planning strategies for my clients. There are countless risks and opportunties that you will meet on your voyage of retirement. My mission is to help you navigate through them in a way that is comfortable, enlightening and as enjoyable as possible. This concentration on "retirement-readiness" is reflected in the other type of client that I serve. That is, small-business owners-- helping them to set up and maintain effective retirement plans for themselves and their employees.
