While Nicole Romito has clients who are in all the different cycles of life, she gets an extra boost collaborating with women who are going through a transition and are making life altering financial decisions. This could be due to divorce, becoming a widow, selling their business or being able to retire from their corporate executive career. Having gone through a divorce herself and leaving a 10-year career with a bank to start her own financial planning practice, Nicole understands the stress of being 100% responsible for your financial security. That is why Nicole invests extra time and works with her clients and their other professionals (such as their attorney and tax advisor) to create a plan which takes them from a place of fear and uncertainty to one of clarity and confidence.
Nicole received her bachelor’s degree in finance from St. Louis University and is both a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® practitioner and a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst™. Nicole is the Treasurer and a board member of Girls in the Game. In her free time, Nicole is an avid golfer, baker, cook, traveler, and dreams of performing at Second City.

After a few years in the supply chain industry, Miles Johnson began his financial planning career to help individuals and families build a road map to achieve and/or maintain financial independence. Growing up infatuated watching his father run a Venture Capital Firm and being exposed to entrepreneurship and investing at an early age helped shape Miles’ perspective on the importance of strong business and investment principles. It was not until his early adult life when Miles’ family experienced financial challenges did he understand the true value of planning and risk management. Since those early challenges, Miles has made it his life’s mission to prevent the individuals and families he works with from experiencing those same challenges by proactively planning.
Miles received his bachelor’s degree in business management from National-Louis University and is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional. Together, with his wife, Cassandra, and three children, Miles enjoys traveling to bucket list destinations, lake-side activities, and Friday Family Fun Nights. In his personal time, Miles is an avid golfer who enjoys reading and working out.
