About Steve Stanganelli – College Planner

Personal Note from Steve Stanganelli – College Planner

Since 1986, I’ve been helping families and business owners throughout the Greater Boston, North Shore and NH Seacoast areas make smarter money moves with mortgages, investments, retirement, taxes and college funding.

As the principal financial planner of Clear View Wealth Advisors, LLC, a fee-for-service firm offering tax, investment and financial planning strategies, I have worked with many clients trying to balance retirement and college funding goals.

My interest in College Planning and Funding began with a typical question from my clients in the Boston area: How do I pay for my kid’s college education? They were interested in practical ways to help them finance the ever-increasing cost of college and graduate school and not necessarily in the next greatest investment idea. And as the father of three, I have special personal reasons to focus on this area.

I realized long ago that dealing with college funding without a plan jeopardizes retirement.  So I have sought out continuing education in this specialized area of personal financial planning and assembled a suite of tools with a network of resources to better answer that question and provide tangible action steps that save parents thousands of dollars in tuition dollars.

As a CERTIFED FINANICAL PLANNER ™ Professional trained in college funding and a CHARTERED RETIREMENT PLANNING COUNSELOR SM, I am uniquely qualified to help SAVE ON the cost of college without sacrificing retirement.

Let me put my experience and resources to work for your family by putting me on your college planning team today.

No client has ever said “I wish I’d waited longer”.
