The practice is spearheaded by industry-veteran Ed Drake and will offer integrated financial planning, retirement, and risk management services to individuals and entrepreneurs, and will complement MRZ's existing tax consulting and compliance services.
MRZ Financial's tagline, "Design. Direction. Freedom.," speaks to the firm's focus on values-based financial planning which systematically aligns financial decision-making with the stated passions and long-term priorities of the client.

About MRZ Financial
MRZ Financial was founded on the belief that the system is broken. That too often a business owner or individual's financial plan is a mess of myriad advisors unaware of the planning and strategy outside their area of expertise. Or worse, that they pay lip service to clients, selling investment or insurance products for their own gain, and neglect to follow up on changing needs. MRZ Financial addresses this disconnect by uncovering the passions that drive an individual or family unit -- and then crafting a plan to support those priorities.
Supported by CPAs and other advisors, MRZ Financial professionals provide service grounded in an integrated planning approach that addresses the complex intersections of life's personal, tax, investment, estate, business and other planning needs.
