LIVERMORE, Calif., March 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Bay Area-based Financial Planner and Advisor, Andrew Kessler, CFP^®, MBA, launches his new firm, Investa Financial Planning. The firm has partnered with RFG Advisory, an award-winning platform for independent Financial Advisors with cutting-edge technology, a comprehensive support team, and additional support.

Investa Financial Planning is a firm predicated on the value of service, realistic advice, and goals-based investing.

"I have always valued entrepreneurship and independence," says Kessler, "I watched my father build his business from the ground up. Independence offers the opportunity to create an experience for my clients that aligns with their values, goals, and needs. It's a dream come true."

The name "Investa" is derived from a combination of Roman Mythology and elements of the financial industry. Vesta is the Roman Goddess of Home and Hearth, which represents the goals or dreams of clients.

The mechanism through which wealth can be created is through investing, which is where In becomes a part of the name.
