Joseph Sgroi - Founder

Job Titles:
  • Founder
Our esteemed founder, Joseph Sgroi, opened the doors to Sgroi Financial in 1971. His guiding principle has always been "doing what is best for the client." In a financial climate that can create acquisitive Financial Planners, Joe knew he had to stand apart by always putting clients' needs at the forefront of their investment strategy. He instituted the financial planning philosophy that planners will invest their time with full confidence that once prospective clients observe the company's process and intentions, they will not want to do business with any other firm. The entire staff of Sgroi Financial emulates Joe's guiding principle in all they do. Sgroi Financial has implemented a sophisticated financial planning system that comprehensively puts all of the clients' assets in correct liquidity sequence so that they can make the most professional financial planning decisions.
