“Contemporary advisors working as fee-only fiduciaries and their clients demand solutions that are flexible, whether they’re focusing on accumulation, protection, or retirement income,” said McNeela. “Every financial life is different and a client’s needs can change in a moment’s notice. Given RetireOne’s growth trajectory, I am excited to bring a new discipline to our approach to client engagement.”

Jeff Cusack has more than 30 years of experience in financial services, and has held leadership positions at JPMorgan, Charles Schwab, Smith Barney’s Consulting Group (now Morgan Stanley) and, most recently, Nuveen Investments.
