Mission:

Life transitions are inevitable for each of us: marriage, children, career changes, retirement, divorce, and loss of a family member. These events can impair our judgment and affect our financial decisions. Our financial planning focuses on minimizing the financial impact caused by these transitions.

We assist our clients in learning to implement prudent and responsible investment strategies designed to help them become financially independent. While each of our clients is truly unique, they all have one thing in common; they want unbiased financial advice from experienced, caring professionals. Sharing our experience, knowledge and understanding of the impact of financial planning on life is what this firm is all about.

Our approach is different - we emphasize our clients, not the products. Unlike many financial consultants, Dorman Financial Management, P.A.  is an independent firm with no proprietary investment products to sell. This allows us to develop long-term relationships and approach investing and financial planning as a process, not an event.

We strive to help provide our clients with financial independence through financial education, enabling them to work towards their goals with confidence.
