For Kevin Fles, Financial Advisor at Montgomery Bank, financial advising is all about a personal connection and building relationships with his clients. From advising them on how to invest their money to learning about their family, Kevin views each client individually.
“We cater our offerings to who we’re dealing with so whether it be a business or a family, we have many specific ways we can help them. It just depends on their situation,” Kevin says. “I just like working with people and view my clients as friends; they know my family, and I try to make sure I know a lot about them.”
As a certified Financial Advisor, for the past 12 years at Montgomery Wealth Management, Kevin has counseled clients on virtually all aspects of personal finance.
He says oftentimes his clients don’t understand the current programs their money is in. This where he can help them, by educating them on these programs and assisting them in making better decisions.
“I also try to consolidate and simplify. We don’t have to reinvent the wheel. We just have to make it simple and easy to understand.”
Partnering with Montgomery Wealth Management, which is conveniently located inside Montgomery Bank is beneficial because all of a customer’s financial needs — including checking and savings accounts, mortgages and retirement planning — can be taken care of under one roof, here at a locally-owned, bank.
“I really take pleasure in seeing my clients happy. I take it personally, and it upsets me to see dips in the road, just as much as it bothers them.”
As he and his wife have three children, family is important to Kevin. He works to ensure he counsels his clients as he would his own family.
“I try to advise all of my clients the same way I advise my parents,” Kevin says. “I’m never going to put one of my clients in something I wouldn’t put my own parents in. Because at the end of the day, it’s my reputation, and that’s important to me.”
