A Legacy of Experience-and Empathy

With more than 46,000 hours of face-to-face client planning meetings, CFCP has built a reputation for delivering highly personalized financial strategies rooted in trust and understanding.

"Our education, certifications, and experience mean very little until our families and business owners know they truly matter to us," said Lou Cannataro, Founder of CFCP. "Once they know we care, then they care what we know. That belief has guided our firm for more than three decades."
