How We Plan Together

Retirement Planning +

You spent a lifetime accumulating, now it is time to plan for distribution. Live the retirement you envision, maintain your desired lifestyle while maximizing your income.

Efficient Income Planning +

DO YOUR CURRENT FINANCIAL PLANNING CONVERSATIONS START, FINISH AND REGULARLY CENTER AROUND MAKING SMART DECISIONS TO MAXIMIZE YOUR SAVINGS AND INCOME? A COORDINATED EFFORT WITH YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR and tax planner TO CLAIM EVERY AVAILABLE TAX PLANNING STRATEGY IS essential.

Insurance and Risk Management +

THE FOUNDATION OF YOUR FINANCIAL PLAN BEGINS WITH PROTECTING WHAT YOU VALUE THE MOST. PROTECT THE PEOPLE WHO DEPEND ON YOU. PROTECT YOUR WEALTH. PROTECT YOUR HEALTH. PROTECT YOUR INCOME.

Education Planning +

Starting early and allowing compounding growth to take shape is a great way to begin investing in your childs education. But lets also have a practical discussion on what education may look like in the future and ensure your plan has flexibility to keep with the changing times.

Pension Max +

THE MULTITUDE OF INCOME DISTRIBUTION AND HEALTHCARE OPTIONS CAN BE CONFUSING. A DECISION THIS SIGNIFICANT SHOULD BE COUPLED WITH A COMPREHENSIVE RETIREMENT PLANNING STRATEGY.

Entitlement Benefits +

SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE BENEFITS ARE TERMED ENTITLEMENT BECAUSE YOU EARNED THEM. DO YOU KNOW HOW EACH BENEFIT OPTION FITS INTO YOUR broader PLAN TO PROVIDE THE MAXIMUM benefit WHILE MINIMIZING TAXES AND HEALTHCARE COSTS?

Alternative Investments +

DIVERSIFYING YOUR WEALTH INTO MULTIPLE ASSET CLASSES CAN POTENTIALLY REDUCE YOUR INVESTMENT RISKS AND PROVIDE ADDITIONAL PLANNING OPPORTUNITIES. IS REAL ESTATE ALWAYS A GOOD INVESTMENT? HOW DO YOU PROPERLY VALUE IT?

Estate Planning +

A WELL THOUGHT OUT, DOCUMENTED PLAN WILL ENSURE YOUR ASSETS ARE PROTECTED AND DISTRIBUTED ACCORDING TO YOUR WISHES WITH THE UTMOST PRIVACY. YOU PROBABLY NEED DIGITAL ESTATE PLANNING TOO. AND NO, THIS DOES NOT HAVE TO COST A FORTUNE.

About Cecil Wealth

My Mission:

To be your trusted business partner. 

I work with families, professionals, and businesses to plan for everything.

I will invest in you, help you leverage your personal capital, educate, and make complex financial concepts simple to understand.

I am not anchored down by the way things used to be in the financial services business. Nor do I have the baggage from how this business has been run for the past few decades. 

The days of an advisor being an individual who manages your savings, but provides minimal reciprocal value are numbered. 

Technological advances in financial services has leveled the playing field for independent advisors like myself versus larger corporate firms.  The immediate return on your investment I provide is experience. I am fanatical about treating people the right way and building lasting relationships. 

Financial planning is the easy part. Becoming your trusted partner takes time.

Your expectations for your advisor should be higher than ever. My expectations of how your financial plan should be treated are even higher.

Andrew Cecil, CFP^®

I am the founder of Cecil Wealth, a full service planning practice committed to making complex financial concepts easy to understand.

I am a 2005 graduate of Penn State University.

My biggest supporters are my wife Ashley, and sons Lou and Ty. They provide motivation, focus, and keep me humble. We love experiences, travel, and sitting on the beach all day.  

When not immersed in some type of financial related information, I have a passion for entertaining family and friends, cooking, grilling, and smoking meats.

 

I am a very mediocre golfer(I shoot 84-90).

 

Lawn care, gardening, and yard work are mindless tasks I enjoy. I love mowing the lawn weekly.
