When our children were diagnosed with a rare disorder in 2017, I made it one of my missions to bring the best financial guidance possible to the life sciences and nonprofit industries around New England. As they directly helped families like ours, I wanted our work to help them.

To accomplish this on a client-by-client basis, I partner with top financial advisors and one of the top employee benefits brokers in the country. This model allows everyone to truly focus on what they enjoy most and importantly, what they do best.

For our personal financial planning clients, this means our team of CFPs acts as a true “thought partner” as we guide our clients to build and preserve their wealth decade after decade.

For our non-profit and corporate clients, we are of greatest service by having our award-winning employee benefits partner show them new ways to contain or reduce the ever-climbing cost of their health insurance (yes, it is possible!) This often also means having our strategic partners seamlessly provide and coordinate any or all payroll, HR and 401k/403b services.

Todd earned his BA from Colgate University, is an alumnus of The Belmont Hill School and is active in

the alumni affairs of both. In 2018, seeing a community in severe need, Todd co-founded The Mending Minds Foundation (www.MMinds.org), a non-profit dedicated to improving the diagnosis and treatment of Childhood Post-Infectious Neuroimmune Disorders such as PANDAS and PANS. He also served on the Board of Directors of Riverside Community Care, a non-profit health and human services organization in Massachusetts. Todd lives in Wellesley with his wife and three children.

CFP

Jeremy began his career in financial services in 2007 at Union Bank in San Francisco as an institutional bond trader. His experience going through the great recession and seeing the financial impact it had on so many, drove him to want to foster relationships with individuals and families to help them make thoughtful, efficient financial decisions.

Clients appreciate Jeremy’s ability to listen and understand their goals and concerns. This allows for the collaboration needed to create specific blueprints in the form of a unique personal financial plan. Collaboration is key, which is why Jeremy’s approach is to integrate not only internal resources such as investment and insurance experts, but to include client’s personal resources, including CPA’s, and estate attorneys as well.

Jeremy’s process and experience helps individuals, families and business owners alike address a myriad of concerns, from simply managing cash flow better, to advanced investment, income and tax planning, as well as legacy and estate preservation strategies.

Originally from Ohio, Jeremy graduated from The Ohio State University with a B.A. in Political Science. Upon graduating, Jeremy moved to San Francisco where he met his wife, Annie. They moved to Massachusetts and settled in Boxford, where they live with their son Owen, daughter Lyla, and dog Brae.

With a passion for helping others and extensive industry experience, Amanda has planted her feet as a Financial Planner at Commonwealth Financial Group. As a woman with vast knowledge of what has primarily been a male-dominated industry, Amanda brings an unparalleled point of view. She takes to heart the idea that proper financial education helps lead to individual freedom and long-term success.

While Amanda works well with a variety of folks, she specializes in working with business owners, helping them to take time out of their busy schedules and think about their financial future in a more intentional way. She also works well with women as she has noticed that many women feel most comfortable in working with a female financial planner – connecting on a level they may have struggled to with other advisors in the past.

Outside of the office, you’ll find Amanda at a local dance studio, attending a boxing or yoga class, volunteering for various local non-profit organizations, or baking something sweet at home.

65 Main Street, Suite 201
Burlington, VT 05401

Nicholas “Nick” Roop is a Financial Planner at Commonwealth Financial Group, a graduate of Norwich University, and a veteran of the United States Marine Corps. 

Nick’s passion for helping others with their finances developed early as he educated himself about all aspects of financial management, from personal finance to business investment. Seeing the positive impact his military service to the country brought, it became just as important to Nick to put that same level of energy, effort, and commitment into improving the lives of others through financial planning. 

The focus of Nick’s business is working with families and business owners to achieve financial independence. Nick works with a wide range of clients, but he specializes in working with members of the military, veterans, police, nurses, and other frontline personnel. He also works well with business owners, both large and small, and business executives.

Nick’s holistic approach is similar to that of a personal CFO: he works with the important professionals in your life, including lawyers, accountants, mortgage brokers, and others, to ensure that any and all financial decisions are made with your best interests and goals in mind. 

Education is another cornerstone of Nick’s business and personal life. His wife, Maria is a teacher, and he, too, views himself as an educator. He loves to coach clients on each step of their financial plan, so they feel empowered, confident, and comfortable in their financial life.

Nick and his wife, Maria, live in Colchester, VT, with their daughters, Madison and Remington, and sons, Alexander and Ryan. Nick and Maria enjoy creating a sense of community by hosting dinners with friends. In the summer, you’ll find his family on Lake Champlain, while winter weekends are spent either relaxing at home or hitting the slopes for snowboarding adventures.

Juggling business, personal, and family life isn‘t always easy. I strive to educate my clients about how their personal, business, and estate plans all interact with one another. I help business owners make well-informed financial decisions to achieve their financial goals, preserve family wealth, build business equity and manage their legacy. Even though my approach to wealth management is extremely comprehensive in nature, my unique process and unified approach simplifies the complexity of modern day wealth management.

Leveraging the collective knowledge of the Commonwealth Financial Group team, I will ensure that all stakeholders are on the same page and working toward the same goals. Whether your goals include preparing for milestones like transitioning your business to the next generation, selling to a buyer, or just being able to be financially independent, I promise you the highest level of attention, insight, and capability.

From her roots in the family business to today and her own financial planning business, Martha’s enthusiasm for business grows from a love of ideas, tech, and entrepreneurial spirit. When she isn’t helping people achieve their personal and business financial goals you will most likely find her on the golf course. She calls the South Coast of Massachusetts home and loves its beaches and beauty.

“A goal without a plan is just a wish.” – Antoine de Saint-Exupery
