About Leah Joyce

Leah decided to devote her life to helping people with their finances, after losing both her mother and brother at extremely young ages. After personally experiencing the devastation and overwhelm from the sudden death of a loved one, she felt that this was where she could make the biggest impact in other individual's lives. Leah has also seen the positive effect that thoughtful legacy planning can make – while on the other hand, the tremendous burden that a lack of planning can cause. This first-hand experience has made her passionate about helping her clients properly prepare in every way financially, to ensure that they’re on track to achieve the retirement they want and deserve, while simultaneously protecting their loved ones from unnecessary stress, burden, time and expense.
