ABOUT OUR PRACTICE
Sound Wealth Advisors, LLC is an independent investment advisory firm and has affiliated with NewEdge Advisors, LLC, an SEC Registered Investment Adviser. In providing advice to our clients, Sound Wealth Advisors, LLC has a fiduciary obligation to act in and to provide advice focused on the best interests of our clients, objectively sourcing and evaluating a wide range of investment resources.
Sound Wealth Advisors, LLC was founded by Robert (“Rob”) Van Ostenbridge, who was a Senior Vice President in the Wealth Management practice at Merrill Lynch. Prior to that, Rob was a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). He no longer practices, but that experience informs his analytical approach to looking after his clients’ wealth.
Rob holds the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification awarded by the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc., to individuals who successfully complete initial and ongoing CFP® requirements (1).
(1) The CFP® certification is obtained by completing an advanced college-level course of study addressing the financial planning subject areas that the CFP® Board’s studies have determined as necessary for the competent and professional delivery of financial planning services, a comprehensive certification exam (administered in 10 hours over a 2-day period) and agreeing to be bound by the CFP® board’s standard of professional conduct. As a prerequisite, the individual must have a Bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited United States college or university (or foreign university equivalent) and have at least 3 years of full time financial planning experience (or equivalent measured at 2,000 hours per year). This designation requires 30 hours of continuing education every 2 years and renewing an agreement to be bound by the Standards of Professional Conduct. SEC registration does not constitute an endorsement of the firm by the Commission nor does it indicate that the adviser has attained a particular level of skill.
