A Note from Janice Berner
Welcome — I'm Janice Berner, CLTC, CPA*, MBA, CDFA, a Financial Advisor based in Wakefield, Boston and Wellesley, Massachusetts and Exeter, New Hampshire. As your personal Financial Advisor and Planner, I focus on building long-term relationships with individuals, families and business owners to assist them in achieving their individual financial success. I combine my thirty years of experience in finance with my unique background in elder care counseling and accounting to provide solutions to many of today's financial challenges and make a real impact on the lives of those I work with.
After years in counseling and finance services, one thing I know for certain is that everyone will face hardships in life — they will also experience momentous life events and causes for celebration. People often come to me in need of help making a big life decision or adapting to a transition. So naturally, what three words do I hear most? "What happens if..."

I assist my clients through life's many milestones by helping them understand the implications of financial decisions before they are made. We work together to asses the current situation, explore scenarios, and to create an ongoing plan for continued financial freedom based around their specific goals. It's a relationship of trust and adaptability.
If you are in need of a steadfast resource during a time of transition or uncertainty, I would welcome the opportunity to see how my team and I can help.
