As the housing market lofts and the stock market wobbles, many look to professionals for guidance. Two local Jewish men, meanwhile, offer financial planning for an underserved population segment: the deaf community.
Schwarz Financial Services LLC, located in Bethesda, is the only deaf-owned, independent registered investment advisory firm, according to its president, Louis Schwarz, 59, who became the first deaf man to have gained the credentials as Certified Financial Planner (CFP). Schwarz is joined in his firm, which is mandated to help deaf people achieve financial security, by Simon Roffe, 29, who is also deaf.
