The Both Hands Financial Group Story

The Crusade Begins

Both Hands Financial Group as a company is relativlely young being established in 2016, but its origins dates back to 2006 when one of our co-founders Don Meyer was on a mission trip to a small country called Moldova which is situated right between Romania and Ukraine.  After the fall of the Soviet Union this country about the size of Rhode Island fell upon tough times.  During these times instead of unity, there was division causing self-destruction, so much in fact that nearly 70% of women that are sold into human trafficking in Europe come from Moldova.  Don while on a mission trip with an organization focused on building beds for orphans met a boy named Gheorghe who along with 3 siblings had lost both of their parents, and it was put on Don's heart to adopt all for children.  The problem is international adoptions are neither quick and can be costly.  Don was not prepared for adopting one child, nevertheless four.  Don with the help of a friend at church, and local communities who donated materials organized a campaign where people sponsored Don and his friends who worked to fix and repair a widow's home.  He was able to raise $55,000 which allowed him to adopt his children and made way for the Both Hands Foundation whose mission is to look after widows and orphans

James 1:27 says"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after widows and orphans in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."

The story doesn't stop there.  Unbeknownst to Don it was on this trip where he met his future business partner Cory Carlton who was serving on an entirely separate mission trip rehabbing an orphanage.  Don a financial planner by trade and Cory an insurance advisor combined their skills and abilities to form what is now Both Hands Financial Group whose mission is to help people people make decisions important financial decisions for the future by showing them how investments and insurance work together to achieve financial prosperity while protecting your wealth from life's foes such as taxes, inflation, market risk, rising medical costs, and unexpected circumstances. 

Since 2016 we have grown to a team of several advisors across the nation who are crusaders on a mission to first and foremost glorify God our Father in all we do, while helping families achieve financial security,

Medicare planning

Selecting the right Medicare plan is one of the most important decisions you will face when you get to retirement. This is something you can't afford to get wrong. Our expertise will help you make sense of your options so you can be confident in your decisions concerning your healthcare.

Retirement Planning

Traditional pension plans have been replaced by 401K's and shifted the burden of preparing for retirement on you. This means many of you are saving in tax deferred retirement vehicles which will require you to pay taxes that are optional. We will help you make adjustments that will help you keep more of what you save and give you peace of mind by showing you ways to make it last longer.

Business Consulting

As a small business owner you have many hats you wear and have many important decisions to make which can be a daunting task for one person. One aspect many business owners fail to prioritize is their insurance. As your advisor I do more than just offer you a policy at the best price and make sure you have proper coverage. I am a strategic advisor who is willing to work beside you to improve the lives of of your employees, help you find ways to minimize your taxes, and help establish an exit strategy when you are ready to retire from your business..

Insurance for families

A study by LIMRA (Life Insurance Marketing and Research Association) says 41% of adults whether insured or not claim to not have enough life insurance. As an advisor I want you to have confidence in the life insurance plan you have established for your family. Getting the right type of life insurance and the proper amount to have starts with having a conversation. We know it's not an easy one, but a necessary one! Let's get this conversation out of the way.
