Donna Skeels Cygan, Essential Financial Planning

You may be wondering why you are on the StanCorp Investment Advisers web site. There is a simple explanation. On January 1, 2008 Essential Financial Planning, Inc. became part of StanCorp Investment Advisers — a larger financial advisory firm based in Portland, Oregon. You have been redirected to this site from essentialfinancialplanning.com to introduce you to StanCorp Investment Advisers.

When I was approached by StanCorp Investment Advisers, I was already aware of their reputation as an ethical, fee-only financial planning and investment management firm. After getting to know the people that make up the firm, I was convinced that the match was a perfect fit for our clients. They provide the same personalized and extensive service as Essential Financial Planning, while also providing the strength and depth of resources.

Please use this site to learn more about StanCorp Investment Advisers. They have the experience and commitment to service to continue building on the success of Essential Financial Planning, Inc.

I want to thank you for the trust you have placed in me as your financial advisor during the past ten years. It has truly been a pleasure working with each of you. I will continue to work with our clients and the StanCorp team to ensure a smooth transition. If you have any questions about the transition from Essential Financial Planning, Inc. to StanCorp Investment Advisers, I encourage you to call me at 505-298-1098.

All the best,

Donna Skeels Cygan, CFP®, MBA
