Vicki Nielsen

Vicki has a calming yet witty approach when working with clients, as most of us can easily feel overwhelmed when dealing with our finances.  She wants to understand your personal and financial situation, as Vicki recognizes that is how she can best develop strategies to benefit you. Clients are often uncertain whether they need a Financial Plan or not.  Vicki is known for her ability to listen to a client's stories - their needs, concerns, interests, goals - and design a strategy for their financial security while adding a few dashes of humor along the way.  There are many layers and facets of financial planning, and Vicki helps clients wrap their hands around those financial strategies, and to not get stuck in financial lingo or jargon.

Vicki holds her Series 7, 65, 63 and 6 registrations and is an Investment Advisor Representative affiliated with Cetera Advisor Networks LLC.  She is a fiduciary, and brings her fiduciary focus to all financial strategies and financial advising.  In addition to her securities registrations, Vicki holds her Life/Health/Long Term Care and Personal Lines insurance license.

Vicki lives in Hebron with her husband, Mike, their children, Melanie & Jake, and their pooches.  She has a belief that you help to create the community you want to live in, and to honor that goal, Vicki has been very active in her personal and work communities throughout her life.
