The Straightforward Investment Philosophy
Our Ten Year Rule clearly states that any money needed within 10 years should be invested in fixed income securities, and any money not needed within 10 years should be invested in high quality, individual common stocks or mutual funds that invest in common stocks.
Comprehensive Strategy
Financial planning is a fine balance between living a comfortable lifestyle and planning for life events like your children's education, your own retirement or elder care. We consider all aspects of your wealth, including assets in your home, retirement plans and brokerage accounts, your tax exposure, insurance coverage and estate plan. We will work closely with your other advisers, or if you do not have an expert in a certain field, we can recommend one for you.
No Hidden Objective
We are a fee-only adviser, earning compensation from fees paid by flat or hourly fee, or a fee based on a percentage of assets under management. Put simply, we work for our clients. Our objective is to grow our clients' assets at a steady rate without incurring excessive risk or unnecessary trading costs. We offer straightforward advice that is designed to be in the best interest for our clients. Our incentive is in direct relation to our clients; as our clients' portfolios perform better, so do we. With assets under advisement of more than $1.22 billion as of March 31, 2008, The Henssler Financial Group offers decades of experience in all facets of wealth management.

Our first clients were everyday investors who worked hard and earned their wealth. We built portfolios around the investor's goals and risk tolerances keeping capital preservation in mind. We developed strict investment criteria seeking to purchase only high-quality investments that will weather market downturns. It is this same philosophy that we apply to the everyday investor and the affluent investor; to new accounts and those who have been with us since the beginning.
