Your Local Financial Planners: The SFC Difference

Written by Zach Bachner

Proud to serve Macomb County

Summit Financial has been an integral part of Sterling Heights since 1987. Our family of financial planners has grown and thrived along with our community. Macomb County and its residents have always valued local businesses and were thrilled when Robert Wink decided to plant his family business at the corner of Schoenherr and Canal Rd. Robert along with his sons, Ken & Jim, at SFC wanted to give back to their outstanding community through providing excellent financial guidance and top-notch investment strategies. In order to provide the best money management services to their clients and neighbors, they became a Registered Investment Advisory Firm within the Great Lakes state. In addition to being an RIA, Summit Financial is a group of Financial Advisors with a Fiduciary Obligation. This means that our financial advisors have a legal responsibility to advise you in your best interest and not their own or the companies. SFC is not affiliated with Wall Street or any other large financial firms – and we are proud of this fact! We are not tied to a single product or approach – We always do what ‘s right for you!
