What Clients Say About Ethan

We just can not believe how fortunate we are to have Ethan C. in our financial corner!!! Over the years we have worked with Ethan, he has continued to impress us with his steady financial guidance.Our early retirement would not have been possible without Ethan. We know without a doubt that our financial picture would have been pretty dismal without him. Our only complaint since we retired and moved to our family farm in the Midwest is that we are too far away to meet him for a meal. Ethan is a continuous blessing to us.

We have had nothing but a positive experience since starting with Mission about 18 months ago. We really appreciate the comprehensive financial planning approach which integrates social security timing, healthcare cost management, asset allocation, Roth conversion/timing, tax planning, RMDs, estate planning etc. Working with Ethan has been a pleasure. What else could you want?

My husband and I are retired and began investing our monies with Mission Wealth several years ago. We couldn’t be more pleased. Our advisor, Ethan, is incredibly astute and well-versed in all things financial. He presents the facts and guides us gently to reasonable choices that have allowed our portfolio to steadily grow and consistently do better than the market averages. He is readily available if we have a question or financial need. We couldn’t be more pleased with Ethan Cooper and Mission Wealth. We highly recommend them!

Great job by Ethan Cooper and his team in working with me to leverage the money in my IRA to by my wife a new car. They advise was positive and constructive. They executed the funding moves promptly and with minimal effort on my part. Throughout my association with Mission Wealth Ethan and his team have made my savings grow at a phenomenal rate, while helping me leverage the IRA to achieve multiple short term goals. Wonderful team to work with.

We were with a previous company(non fiduciary-yep we were dumb)and after being transferred to multiple planners with no momentum toward our retirement goals, we met Ethan Cooper CFP. After speaking with us, he looked over our investments and presented a financial plan. We were SOLD!. We changed companies and have never had a single regret. Ethan is so easy to work with and the financial results allowed us to reach our retirement goals sooner than expected. Ethan actually listens and takes into account our lifestyle. Ethan is a true blessing in our lives.

I have been with brokerage companies for many years, but there came a point when I needed a wealth management company to better suit my needs. I interviewed two different companies: one was a brokerage house with offices locally, and the other was Mission Wealth (MW). Both made presentations and recommendations involving my account, considering taxes and investments. However, MW's presentation was both comprehensive and relevant, covering a number of key areas. They became my first choice, and I have not been disappointed nor looked back. Having the right senior wealth advisor is the best part of this important relationship.I am very grateful for Ethan's management of my account. He has initiated, on my behalf, a review of my insurance coverage, annuities, investments, income tax positions (including certain specific recommendations), and now estate tax considerations. The in-house capability of MW advisors is very helpful in complementing Ethan's ongoing account management...

I followed Ethan from his previous post and can't be happier that I did. He is always available and is quick to get what information I need. Thank you, Ethan, for your years of help and service in achieving our goals.
