We have the knowledge, but equally as important, we share the knowledge with you to achieve your goals.
At the Trust Group Financial Services with James Spicuzza, first we have an initial meeting to learn about each other and establish our relationship. We determine your objectives to truly understand your unique situation.
From there, we take a look at your complete situation including your income, expenses, assets, tax liabilities, and social security and begin conceptualizing an effective strategy to maximize your retirement, reduce your tax burden and meet your goals, collaborating every step of the way.
We then execute your plan so you can move forward into retirement with confidence and sleep well at night knowing your estate and retirement plan is in place.
Finally, our work is never done. We are committed to providing the highest level of service and support to build on our relationship. Our number-one priority is to create an experience that establishes a relationship that lasts a lifetime.

The process of creating something from an idea was rewarding. His knack for thinking ahead and creating plans led to a desire to become an architect. Seeing buildings develop from nothing more than an idea and a piece of drafting paper was inspiring to him.
