A quick message from Justin…

Here at GIA, I work with clients who are committed to reaching their personal and financial goals. Whether you’re looking for a CFP® professional to be your guide through your retirement journey or you are just looking for confidence in making a single financial decision.  Never fear, there’s no judgment here.  We’ll discuss your unique situation and goals to discover how you can best use your resources to achieve those goals.  After our initial strategy session, we’ll decide if we should reconvene in 30 days, 60 days, or maybe 6 months…it all depends on you.

Their professionalism and dedication to their customers is exceptional.

My sister and I met with Joe Beckford and Ray Brown yesterday. It was a routine meeting to discuss our
loved one’s finances. We are so thankful for the financial relationship he established with GIA years ago. It has made this new stage of his life so much more seamless. They took the time to understand his
current needs and patiently explained his options to us. Their professionalism and dedication to their
customers is exceptional. We are so thankful to have GIA as we navigate this next season of our loved
one’s life.

We made the best financial decision joining the Goodwin team.

We made the best financial decision joining the Goodwin team. Justin has been a blessing. They always
go above and beyond, exceeding expectations. They’ve helped us build a future financial plan where we
can incorporate diverse investment strategies to obtain our goals so that we can do more of the things
that we love. They’ve also been instrumental in helping us plan our business goals and even helped us
find a new accounting partner. I do not know where we would be without Justin and Goodwin Investment
Advisory. I know that we are in great hands and working with people that truly care.

Everyone at GIA is very friendly and resourceful.

My wife and I became clients in January of this year. Our advisor is Joe Beckford and all the support
staff. I have been with 2 other advisors since 2000. This is the first time we ever received a
comprehensive review to include budget setting and setting strategies moving forward. Everyone at GIA
is very friendly and resourceful. We learned about Joe from my daughter who has been a client for a
while and she could not say enough about Joe. I found this wonderful relationship with Joe Beckford.
Thanks Joe and staff.
