About Our Guest:

Peggy Haslach, CFP, CLU is a Financial Advisor with The Finity Group.  Peggy has built her practice working with female practice (veterinarians, doctors, and attorneys) and small business owners. At age 53 she made a career change when she saw, first-hand, the effect life events had on women’s financial security.

As an athlete, trainer and coach, Peggy uses a coach’s approach with her clients.
