Hutcherson has a particular skill in identifying and protecting vulnerable clients and focuses on helping individuals and families with complex financial planning and healthcare decisions, while Heitz’s specialty is working with closely held business owners and senior executives to help with retirement planning, estate and charitable planning, and aging care strategies.
“Most families go through these critical life experiences without the tools and resources they need to make informed decisions. Savant is committed to going beyond the surface-level knowledge to help bring a deeper, personalized support offering to client families during these transitions,” Hutcherson commented.
Brent Brodeski, CPA, CFP, CFA, MBA, founder and CEO of Savant Wealth Management, said that his firm is well placed to continue to serve the needs of the type of clients that the Sortino duo has focused on.
“Savant’s business model enables us to partner with firms with specialized knowledge to support our team approach to working with clients. Danny and Stephen are qualified to help clients navigate issues like the financial strain of caring for elderly parents, the need for personalized solutions, and the emotional toll that caregivers undergo as they support aging family members.”
