Colin M. Rosenberg


For more than 30 years, I've had the privilege of helping hundreds of clients with their complex financial planning needs, including employees of Fortune 500 corporations, C-suite executives, business owners, retirees, and their families.
Relationships are at the heart of my practice. I believe financial planning is about more than numbers; it is about understanding you, your family, your priorities, and what you want your future to look like. By getting to know you on a personal level, I can help provide guidance that's tailored to your lifestyle, not just your portfolio. My goal is to be a reliable resource you can call whenever financial questions arise.
With my CRPC designation, I'm well-equipped to address important retirement planning considerations, such as minimizing sequence-of-returns risk, Roth IRA conversions and generating reliable retirement income. It's also critical to factor in long-term care and Social Security issues that arise throughout the retirement planning process.
One area of my work that is especially meaningful to me is working with widows. Having watched my mother navigate the financial challenges that followed the loss of my father, I understand how overwhelming these transitions can be. My goal is to provide clear guidance, simplify complex financial decisions, and to ease the client's mind during especially difficult times.
The markets will always experience ebbs and flows, but successful investing is about staying focused on long-term goals rather than reacting to short-term emotions. I help clients understand the behavioral side of finance so they can make thoughtful, disciplined decisions regardless of market conditions. Above all, I manage my clients' money in the same manner that I manage my own. Having guided clients through multiple market cycles, I strive to provide steady advice and reassurance when it's needed most.
For my efforts, I was recognized as a Five Star Wealth Manager Award winner in 2026. However, my proudest honor is the ongoing loyalty shown to me by my clients.
Five Star Wealth Advisor Award This award was issued in 2026. The award was determined based on an evaluation process conducted by Five Star Professional based on objective criteria from 9/10/25 – 2/27/26).

Every client should have a financial plan that serves as the roadmap for your financial future. Here's a step-by-step look at the process we'll go through when you become a client, and how your plan will be developed.
Our relationship begins by getting to know you as a person. We'll talk about your priorities, aspirations and concerns. We'll also take a close look at your assets, credit, and liquidity needs to understand your entire financial landscape. Together, we'll outline your objectives based on your near-term and long-term plans, timeline and risk tolerance.
The next step is to build a customized roadmap to help protect and reach your goals. We'll explore strategies tailored to your goals that may include retirement planning, healthcare, estate planning and more. We'll support your plan by constructing an investment strategy that allows you to meet your desired income with the least amount of risk possible.
With your plan in place, we'll move into action. I'll guide you through the implementation phase, and factor in potential life events such as a home sale, inheritance, divorce, business transition or other possibilities while always considering the potential tax impacts of these events.
This is an often overlooked, yet critical aspect of financial planning. As your life evolves, so should your plan. In addition to annual reviews and regular conference calls, we'll monitor your portfolio making adjustments as needed for market shifts, tax law changes and ever-changing goals. Additionally, I consult with your existing CPA and estate attorney to better ensure all components of your financial life are working in harmony. I'm also happy to recommend a CPA or estate attorney from my network of professionals with whom I have long-standing relationships. As always, the singular focus is to help maximize your returns while minimizing your risks.
