Why Applied Financial Concepts?
Wayne D. Minich started working in the financial services industry in 1971 when he was 24 years old. He spent a decade representing an insurance company while continuing his education in finance. While selling insurance, he realized that the interests of the insurance company were sometimes misaligned with the interests of his clients. Wayne wanted to represent his clients by taking a holistic view of their financial picture—working for them instead of the financial institutions.
Thus, Applied Financial Concepts, Inc. was born in 1982.
Since then, Applied Financial Concepts has been offering objective advice to you by taking the time to understand your situation and how different financial products and methods could best promote the unique goals of each individual or business that we work with. One of the driving philosophies behind our firm is the idea that “We start together and We finish together” which is a belief that good planning is done best through long-term relationships with clients. With each new change that you experience in life, we are there to help you navigate and understand how your financial planning is affected. Even after you leave this earth, the planning work that you do with us will have an effect on the ones you leave behind.
