MSGH Advisory Group
In 1995, Paul Madden and Liz Gunnip united to work together for the benefit of their clients, and were joined by Brandon Santillo in 2022 and Justin Harlow in 2023. In 2026, they rebranded to be the MSGH Advisory Group, to recognize the collaborative approach that has long been at the heart of their practice and reflects the meaningful contributions of every member of the team. The individual strengths of each has proven to be synergistic as they are each able to focus on their specific area of expertise while providing financial planning solutions for their clients. Their focus is based on working to achieve superior client service. They strive to respond in a timely manner to each client request and to provide enhanced, value-added events throughout the year. They take time to get to know each client and foster long-term relationships.
This personalized process involves discussions on the client's current financial situation, the investment objectives they would like to achieve, and working with the client to set realistic goals. MSGH Advisory Group follows a comprehensive financial planning process to help clients feel confident that they are on track to meet their short, mid and long term financial goals. They see their clients as family, and they genuinely want each and every one of them to reach the financial freedom that everyone deserves.
