My name is Ted Snow and I'm the Principal and Founder of Snow Financial Group, LLC. My roots in the financial services industry started in 1987 when I began working at Fidelity Investments. Over the next ten years, I received hands-on experience in the securities industry helping customers with mutual fund investing, individual securities trading, and financial planning concepts, while providing superior customer service to my clients. In the last year of my career at Fidelity, I grew uneasy as my desire to advise people with more depth than I was allowed in my position. I saw too many people making emotional and risky financial decisions because they chose to “do it themselves.” They simply didn’t know what they didn’t know. Coordination of retirement, investments, insurance, business, estate, and taxes was how I could truly help these customers.  While earning my MBA in Financial Planning, I developed a thirst for entrepreneurship and decided it was time to take a huge leap of faith to start my own practice. With no clientele and armed with industry knowledge and the skill of great customer service, I set out to build a financial planning practice.

After spending eight years with independent firms building my practice, I founded Snow Financial Group, LLC in 2006 with the purpose of offering comprehensive and “personal” service to my clients. We focus on two key client service principles:

Offering a boutique style experience: I keep my client list small to provide clients quick access to me and my staff, while cultivating great relationships.

Creating a comfortable atmosphere: I want my office to be a place where people feel at ease talking about their financial lives and feel confidence about the advice they are receiving about their financial future.

Snow Financial Group, LLC starts with being personal, and the families in my practice are part of my personal family. If you decide to be one of the families we serve at Snow Financial Group, LLC, you will experience personal, comprehensive wealth management service like you’ve never experienced before.
