Financial Advisor Experience

Ben Smith is the Founder of Cove Financial Planning. He believes that everyone, regardless of age, occupation, net worth, and investment experience, deserves a customized financial plan and the peace of mind that comes with it. Before starting Cove, Ben worked for several investment companies, and saw just how boring, complex, and off-putting investing can be for many people. Traditional advisors also have a reputation for specifically catering to high-net-worth individuals while ignoring up-and-coming professionals who have the greatest asset of all: time! His mission is to provide access to high-quality advice to a broader range of people who want to take control of their financial lives (and maybe have some fun in the process!) He also passionately believes in helping people blend Socially Responsible Investing into their long-term financial plans. He's here to prove that you can Do Well While Doing Good!
