Candace "grew up" in financial services. Always interested in saving and investing, her first job out of college was assisting her dad, a financial advisor. From there, she assisted a number of other Financial Advisors, which helped her decide her ultimate career path.  Candace returned to UBS in 2010 and completed the Financial Advisor Training Program.  She earned the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification in 2012. She helps clients in a variety of areas in managing their finances. Becoming a CFP® is one of the most difficult and stringent processes in terms of financial advisors. It requires years of experience, successful completion of standardized exams, a demonstration of ethics, and a formal education. The most important aspect of a CFP® is that they have a fiduciary duty, meaning she must make decisions with her clients' best interests in mind. Today, Candace is a lead advisor with Gateway Wealth Management where she focuses on advanced planning, helping clients in transition make smarter decisions about their money. Her planning advice primarily addresses her clients' cash flow, wealth protection and
transfer needs and philanthropic planning.
