    Financial Advisor

    Quintessential Financial Corp.

    I'm a "Certified Financial Planner" with over 26 years of experience as a licensed securities advisor and insurance agent. I received my Aeronautical Engineering Degree from the U.S. Air Force Academy, and my Masters Degree in Systems Management from USC. As an Adjunct Professor, I have taught Retirement Planning at University of Redlands and also taught at UC-Irvine. I occasionally serve the military as a "Personal Financial Counsellor." I'm very active in my community, serving in the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce. I'm past President of the Mission Viejo Chamber, and serve on the board of the Financial Planning Association in Orange County. I was also Chairman of the Investment Advisory Commission for the City of Mission Viejo. My company is Quintessential Financial... a name chosen because I have Quintuplets (Five 24 years old... all graduated from college and working in their chosen careers). So I know something about college planning, too. I provide investment and insurance strategies for families and businesses. This includes devising income generating strategies for financial freedom (some call it "retirement"), and minimizing the dreaded tax bill. I'll put my engineering analysis to work for you. All securities offered through Money Concepts Capital Corp., Member FINRA/SIPC. Quintessential Financial Corp. is not affiliated with Money Concepts Capital Corp. Investments products and services available only to residents of California, Arizona, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Washington.

    Financial Advisor

    Safe Harbor Financial Advisors

    George Reilly is among fewer than 5% of all Certified Financial Planners in the U.S. who also have a law degree. In addition to his J.D., he earned a Masters in Law degree from George Washington University School of Law with a specialization in income taxation and estate planning.Unlike many financial advisors who focus on investment management, George has a tax-focused practice, working with primarily pre-retirees and retirees. The financial planning needs of clients in this stage of life are more complex than those who are in the saving for retirement years. Planning for retirement income and financial independence must factor in tax issues and legal readiness. In addition to his tax background, George's estate planning experience gives Safe Harbor clients a truly unique holistic approach to their planning needs.

    Main Street Wealth Management

    I started out with a large national financial planning and investment firm. After ten years I realized that I wanted to stop selling commission-based products and instead wanted to concentrate on fee-only investment management and financial planning. As a fee-only advisor, I have true independence to do what is in the best interests of my clients with no propriety conflicts. Thru the years I have started two fee-only investment advisory firms for other organizations before starting Main Street Wealth Management in April of 2019. I am well known for helping, educating, and supporting clients as I help them develop strategic investment plans for their future.
