About Michael Davidoff, CFP®, CFA

My name is Mike Davidoff. I am a patient, thoughtful and empathetic human being who deeply values relationships, lifelong learning, and personal growth. I am a father, a husband, a dog owner, a Jets fan, a writer, a cancer survivor and many other identities depending on who you are in my life.

At age 48, I decided it was time to stop ignoring my lifelong dream of opening my own wealth advisory practice.

I wrote about this vision in my mid-20’s for my business school applications, and the desire to take this personal leap has grown in intensity over time. I strongly believe that all of us collective consumers (including me) are yearning for honest, compassionate and useful financial education and advice from the financial services industry. That is our mission at MND Wealth Management, LLC.

We work primarily with mid- to late-career professionals, also known as the “sandwich generation.” This is a season of life where your time, focus, money and energy are compromised by multiple competing factors, and it is extremely valuable to match up your financial resources with your life goals and needs.

About Kerry O’Brien, CFP®

Kerry O’Brien is a CFP® and Founder of BeingFIT Financial (BFF). Her mission is to help people gain and maintain optimal financial fitness — and to support living with overall wellness and intention. Her firm offers programs for all stages of wealth, and allows clients to choose the program that best matches their personality and competencies. Financial Planning is the core service, along with Investment Management and Tax Preparation. BFF also hosts Wealth and Wellness Events.

Prior to creating BeingFIT Financial, Kerry spent over 15 years working for large financial firms, during which time she specialized in insurance, retirement products, investments, and financial planning. Kerry’s most valuable experience came from her work as a Financial Planning Consultant to financial advisors across the country, serving a variety of markets and planning needs.

While she gained valuable professional experience and perspective – personally Kerry grew very overwhelmed and stressed trying to balance all the elements of day-to-day existence. She discovered how HARD it is to work full-time, advance a career, AND be a good mom.

What unfortunately happened is that all the healthy habits (and social life) that she cherished from her 20’s, living beach-side in Southern California — like hitting the gym, good nutrition, yoga, practicing mindfulness — all went out the window.

Now, she is dedicated again to nurturing her whole self, and has created BeingFIT Financial with the intention to help other like-minded and ambitious people on their path to optimal wellness.

BFF’s Financial Planning Philosophies are:
1. Your Why and Values before your Numbers.
2. Guidance on ALL aspects of your Financial Life.
3. Freedom to use (or don’t) our Investment Management options.
4. Compassionate and Judgement Free Zone.

Financial Planning Fitness programs are available as short-term engagements and designed for entry-level planning needs. BeingFIT Personal Advisory Services are for busy professionals, who desire a long-term Financial “Co-Pilot”, and include financial planning, investment management, and tax preparation for a monthly (or quarterly) flat-fee. Additionally, Game-Plans are an option for special financial goals, or occasional professional assessments for DIY individuals.

Plus, through events and communication, BFF supports financial wellness as well as additional dimensions – by showcasing experts and tips in areas such as physical, emotional, social, intellectual, spiritual, occupational, and environmental wellness.

When she is not working, Kerry is spending time with her 9 year old daughter, at the hockey rink, lifting weights or practicing yoga.

About Eric Roberge, CFP®

At BYH, we help people use money as a tool to enjoy life today while planning responsibly for tomorrow. My name is Eric Roberge, and I’m a CFP® and founder of Beyond Your Hammock. We help high-achieving professionals in their 30s and 40s by providing fee-only, fiduciary advice, investment management, and financial planning in Boston. While we’re based in Massachusetts, we also meet and work with clients virtually across the United States.

My goal, and what drives us at BYH, is to help our clients realize their aspirations for a successful life and career, while loving every minute of the ride along the way. Money shouldn’t drive the decisions you make about life. The life you want to create should drive the choices around your finances.

In over 20 years in the financial industry, I’ve seen many stock market highs. I’ve learned how to navigate the lows. I worked through four major economic and market disruptions between 2000 and 2020, as well as the longest bull market in history. But true wealth management is about more than just numbers and industry experience.

Any decent financial expert can tell you how to make better financial choices or invest strategically to grow wealth. Very few people can show you how to leverage your financial resources as tools for accomplishing what you actually want to do throughout life.

Understanding how to choose between equally good options is difficult. So is evaluating potential outcomes and thinking rationally through cost-benefit analyses. Accurately and objectively assessing risk, precisely weighting opportunity costs and the probability for success not just in a year but in 40 years from now — yes, you guessed it, very difficult to do.

The numbers might be objective, but your life isn’t. Your life isn’t linear and things change. You change. Your life, your experiences, your values, and your goals (and how those may shift over time) are entirely up to you. Your financial planning experience should reflect that.

Our purpose at BYH is to support our clients in making optimal financial decisions with their cash flow and investment portfolios. Seeing the people I serve enjoy greater confidence, success, and peace of mind is what keeps me and our team going with our mission: to design systems that allow fellow high-achieving professionals to get more from their money and enjoy what they love… right now, and well into the future.
