Nicholas D. Rogers, LUTCF®
Principal
Nick Rogers, principal and founder of Rogers Financial Group, knew from a young age that he wanted to be a financial advisor. He began working in the industry when he was only nineteen years old, and despite having many years under his belt, he’s still excited to go to work every day because he truly loves what he does. Helping his clients understand how to grow, manage, and protect their money is extremely rewarding for Nick, and he enjoys putting himself in his clients’ shoes and treating each of their situations with the same care and concern he gives to his own financial health and wellbeing.
Nick works with clients in multiple states of the country, and prides himself on providing excellent service by being proactive and having an open door policy. In order to work for Nick, you have to love his clients as much as he does and go above and beyond to meet their needs. Nick’s clients know beyond a shadow of a doubt that he has their best interests at heart, and they appreciate that he takes whatever time is necessary to create and implement highly-customized financial plans based on their specific goals and risk tolerance. No matter how much planning someone has already done, or how complicated their situation might be, Nick always looks forward to helping people better their lives through proper planning and protection.
Nick holds his series 6, 63, 7 and 66 licenses, and he’s a member of the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA) and the Million Dollar Roundtable (MDRT). As a result of his commitment to client service and results-oriented approach, Nick has won numerous awards for his excellent sales achievements, including:

Whether you need help with one thing or many, we’re here for you.

and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success.”
- Pablo Picasso -
One thing our clients can appreciate about working with us is that we don’t believe in cookie-cutter financial services or a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we follow a meticulous process designed to help get to know each client’s situation, goals and level of risk tolerance so that we can make appropriate recommendations to meet their needs. Everyone is different and we may amend our approach to suit a specific client, but in general, we utilize the following process to help those we're privileged to serve.
We work hard to provide our clients with the best services and products available.
