My Story
Financial planning isn't just for the rich and privileged.
In fact, a little financial savvy can have a huge impact if you're just starting out.
Are you launching a new career, planning for a big purchase, or trying to grow a business? Maybe you're struggling to pay down debt, or break the pay-check-to-paycheck cycle.
Auri Hughes has been where you are — and where you are trying to go. He went from being a teen working to make every paycheck count and help his family get by, to a young adult working at the top investment firms and saving enough to pay for a high-end condo and an Ivy League MBA.
After years of witnessing how the rich get richer, Auri knows how to adapt their strategies and help people from any background become high earners and skilled investors. Today he shares that knowledge with clients who have big goals, but fewer advantages.
