Virginia Estate and Retirement Planning Advisors, Inc. is not the typical financial firm. Several of their planners are also ordained ministers. This ensures that the financial planning process is not just about the numbers, but a holistic focus on the needs of the individual. The goal is that every voice is heard and every client has a solid understanding of what's taking place. "We're in the piece of mind business," states President and CEO, Thomas P. Marshall. "Our job is make sure clients can sleep at night with a solid plan in place."

About Virginia Estate and Retirement Planning Advisors, Inc.

At Virginia Estate and Retirement Planning Advisors, Inc., they embrace their role as a fiduciary, a responsibility that means they must always act with clients' best interest in mind. As a fiduciary, they are different from traditional financial advisors who are brokers. It's a distinction they are proud of and that benefits clients:

   •  Unlike a broker, they are not licensed to sell securities.
   •  They are Registered Investment Advisor and only sell advice.
   •  Clients need not worry about hidden fees or a hidden agenda because, as a RIA, they are required by law to fully disclose any conflicts of interest.
   •  They are an independent, privately owned firm with deep roots in the community.
   •  They don't have a huge marketing budget and rely on referrals from clients to grow their business, so they are directly motivated to please every client.
   •  As an independent advisory, they choose financial products and services that are best suited for clients – unbiased by the demands and sales quotas that could be imposed by a corporate parent.
   •  VERPA's entire focus is on developing and managing a comprehensive financial strategy that meets each client's unique needs.
   •  Clients receive personal attention and advice from professionals who come to know them.
