About First Financial Consultants |
Alan Suiter has expertise in analyzing his clients' financial situation and helping them
identify the financial options that will maximize their goal-reaching potential. With nearly 34
years of financial planning expertise and without the blinders forced on many other financial
planners by the restrictions of the large corporations they work for, Alan has the know-how and
the freedom to create diverse investment portfolios for his clients, whether their investment
goals are for retirement, education trusts, or estate planning.
Because First Financial Consultants is an independent financial planning office, Alan is able
to take the time to listen to his clients, identify their unique needs, educate them about
their options, and then connect them with the investments that will help them reach their goals
and objectives. If you are a retiree, semi-retired, or actively preparing for a more productive
retirement yet to come, make an appointment with Alan today.
Alan put himself through college at Joplin's MSSU working as a journeyman mechanic for
Freightliner. He attends Wesley United Methodist Church and serves by driving the church bus
for various groups, like the youth and veterans. He enjoys his free time by riding his
motorcycle and backpacking. He has been very involved in scouting, having served as a Scout
Master and on the Ozark Trails Council of the BSA. He has attended both national jamborees and
a world jamboree and has hiked Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico several times.
