Client Testimonials

"As a freelance professional and small business owner, going to Russ Rodgers was probably one of the smartest decisions I've made in the past few years.  His advice on financial management and business strategy has not only helped me invest in my future, but also in gaining, as well as retaining, valuable clientele.  With his friendly service being the cherry on top, I highly recommend him to all business owners who seek guidance down their very own path to success."

"Working with Russ was wonderful - from our first meeting with him, he was a wealth of knowledge. He helped us decide on an estimated sale price for our business and was available for questions every step of the way. Russ was also very empathetic about what a huge decision it was for us to decide whether or not to sell our business and never pushed us in either direction. We have and will continue to refer other business sellers/buyers to Russ."

  "The wisest rule in investment is: when others are selling, buy. When others are buying, sell. Usually, of course, we do the opposite. When everyone else is buying, we assume they know something we don't, so we buy. Then people start selling, panic sets in, and we sell too."
- Jonathan Sacks
