As a business professional I have used Bridgewater Financial Services for help with my personal retirement planning both before and during my retirement. I am extremely pleased with the way they have taken time to understand my retirement wishes and my situation and explained the options available to me and the relative risks associated with them. I feel they maintain a deep and current understanding of the market and are able to communicate the relevant matters accurately and clearly.
