Sound Investment Services was founded on one simple principle: thorough financial planning tailored to meet the needs of a client. To David, retirement income planning is more than just a bottom line but rather matching a certain financial strategy with the values and lifestyle of the client. It is this approach that has kept Sound Investment Services unique from any other firm out there and earned it for its integrity, expertise, and quality service to the client.
