The advisor listed is an Ameriprise financial advisor in Chicago. Comments are not verified, may not be accurate and are not necessarily representative of the experiences of the advisor's clients. I have decided to work in a solo practice by design. I made the decision that I want to provide a 'customized' service model for my clients and have determined that clients should deal with me directly on financial matters. I use the firm's resources for support with practice management, financial planning and technology. My team - resources from the firm provided to franchise advisors.
