My Story and Services
With her passion for the markets, Neda helps her clients address their most pressing financial concerns and achieve their most important personal goals. As a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) and Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor (CRPC®), Neda has an in-depth knowledge of each step of the retirement planning process and assists many of her clients in creating a roadmap to enjoying their retirement years.
Neda begins the advisory relationship by taking the time to get to know her clients on a personal level – who they are, what they value, and what they hope to accomplish. A believer in the value of taking a long-term view, she places emphasis on helping to manage risk appropriately according to each client’s unique situation and time horizon.
Neda regards herself as a friend, and delights in seeing them make progress towards their goals. She feels grateful for the trust clients place in her when they turn to her for guidance in making major life decisions or navigating transitions. Having immigrated from Iran to the U.S. with her family at a young age, Neda appreciates the substantial effort in pursuing the American dream and, as a result, the concept of financial responsibility has always been central to her life. This perspective enables her to empathize with her clients, whom have worked hard to achieve their wealth.
Starting her career as a financial advisor in 2007, Neda joined Morgan Stanley in 2010. In addition to her CFP® and CRPC® designations, she holds Series 7, 66, and Life, Health and Variable Annuity licenses. She earned her B.S. in Finance from University of South Florida.
Neda and her husband Hamilton have two children, a daughter and a son. They enjoy traveling, the arts in all forms, and hosting dinner parties in their home in Lakeland, Florida.
