Your Presenter
Bradley Shammas, CFP®, CPFA | Founder | IWM Financial
I choose to spend my time not just on investments, which is particularly important when investing in retirement, but spending my time talking about financial planning. Discussing how to reach dreams and goals, spending time with kids, with grandkids, and traveling in retirement. The investment side is important, but how we use those investments in life is more important.
In 2016, I launched Intentional Wealth Management, IWM Financial, with the goal to “Plan First, and Invest Second”.
We work out of Orange County and Riverside.
We work on retirement planning and retirement plans.
We help our clients plan around taxes, plan for income, and plan to retire with clarity and confidence.
We value the Certified Financial Planner™ designation and CFP® marks.
We volunteer and support the Financial Planning Association.
We proudly have faith-based financial planning roots.
When I’m not serving retirement plans, I spend my time with my beautiful wife and kids (Penelope and Alexander) in our home city of Riverside.
