Let’s Talk
About Money
Your money and your life. Your taxes, your investments, your income, your future.
Want your story to have a happy ending?
Your life is not inside a pie-chart or spreadsheet. Personalized financial planning and real-life advice that is relevant to you creates happy endings.
Mike Sena Advisors is a full-service, client-focused fee-only financial planning and money management firm.
Our focus is on a superior client experience. This happens when the highest level of expertise coincides with the highest level of customer service. Our core clients are business owners, high performing sales professionals and C-suite executives in transition; we help them become the hero in their life.
How are we different? I’m not sure if we are, we might not be. It really depends on your definition of different, and that is what is important.
Here at Mike Sena Advisors, we don’t sell insurance or securities. We don’t produce thick, glossy financial plans of little practical value or benefit. We don’t have a mid-town office with rich mahogany walls and shiny marble floors. We don’t use industry jargon or suggest super-complicated strategies. And, we don’t outsource our money management.
We do clarify and simplify your life. We do seek to understand your situation and then act with faithful diligence and expertise towards your objectives. We do produce financial plans that actually work in your life. We do help you avoid costly mistakes over time, letting you focus on you and yours, living your life. We do enjoy working with good-fit clients on an hourly, project or annual retainer basis.
If any of this resonates with you, if you’d like to make the most of what you have, live more in the present and feel comfortable about an unknown future, then let’s have a conversation. It’s no-cost and no obligation, and will be worth your time, I promise…

RAISE YOUR HAND if…
“What we see depends mainly on what we look for,” is the opening line in Mike’s book, Raise Your Hand if…
Being smart doesn’t necessarily keep you from doing something stupid. Actually, a better word than stupid is human. We are all human and subject to human impulses, desires and fallacies. Our mind and our money are too often at cross-purposes, too many times working against each other. A fix?
As a start, pick up a copy of Mike’s book and read the forty-eight journal-style stories that will educate, entertain and enlighten you about money and life.

“
“Sometimes a simple message is the best way to get a message across. Mike Sena has done a great job in this book of taking some complex things and explaining them in enough detail that everyday average people can learn enough to be informed. He doesn’t try and explain things in too much detail which is what a lot of financial planners have a tendency to do. His message isn’t about investing but an overall series of short stories that help motivate and encourage average Americans to set goals, develop a process, and become financially free. It’s simple but effective. Nice job Mike!“

Here’s To 2023!
I wrote this four years ago. Seems like a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Bears some relevance to what we are looking at for this year 2023: A Little Perspective… “Stocks Set to Clinch Best Year Since 2013…” exclaimed the Wall Street Journal front page on...
What I Wish For You
