About Leading Edge Financial Planning, LLC (LEFP) DBA StewardRight
Our founder, Mike Proctor, started his career in this industry the way that most financial advisors do: selling financial products for a big company. It didn’t take long for him to realize that he wanted to help people in a bigger, more personalized way.
Traditional financial advising, as Mike learned, is very product-centered. The aim is to sell you products that you might not even need just to help the company’s bottom line. Two years into financial advising for a large firm, Mike became a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) so he could help his clients more effectively.
However, most firms don’t want their advisors to plan. Because of this, Mike spent over four years doing unpaid financial planning work for his clients so that he could really help them make the most of their money. In 2017, Mike finally started his own planning and investments firm, Leading Edge Financial Planning, from the ground up in Wichita, Kansas. Today our team has expanded into the surrounding areas of Wichita, such as Bel Aire, Derby, Maize and El Dorado as well as the surrounding areas of Pagosa Springs, Colorado such as Bayfield, Ignacio, and South Fork.
However, even while advising his clients in a more personalized and less product-centered way, his process was still centered around money. Now, Mike, along with his team, realizes that money shouldn’t be the center of a financial plan. Instead, you are.
We only have so much time to live our lives, and may not always have the time to engage in active portfolio management or investing, so he wants to understand your story and what matters most to you. Only after learning about your goals and values can we effectively help you live a more fulfilling life and put your money to its best use.
