Our Firm
Financial Planning Unlimited, Inc. was formed in 1981 by Norman Peterson, who served as President. The office building was purchased the next year, and we have been at this same location ever since.
As a local firm, we have strong professional relationships and tireless commitment to the individuals, families, businesses and organizations in our community. We network with other professionals such as bankers, real estate agents, attorneys, Medicare agents, mortgage brokers, CPAs and attorneys so that we can give you a financial plan that leaves no stone unturned.
As an independent firm, we have no ulterior motive or products to ‘sell’ - our only goal is to objectively provide you with a financial plan that meets your needs. We will help whether you have $500 or $5 million to invest as everyone needs to start somewhere.
Our Mission
Our mission is to partner with our clients along their journey to financial success by understanding individual needs, wants and long-term goals. We believe in thinking “out of the box” and we are not afraid to challenge conventional wisdom in our approach to investing and preserving wealth. All of our energy, commitment and efforts are focused on you, the client, and your satisfaction.
