Eric B. Soiland, CFP®, CIMA®, CIMC®

For over 35 years I have been committed to providing my clients the highest level of professionalism and personal service.

The ability to positively impact lives has always been one of my life goals. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, I strive to serve my clients in an unbiased fashion providing both experienced guidance and excellent service.

I have a process which I refer to as the LifeSyncSM experience. LifeSync is our ongoing advice and plannnig experience that brings together what our clients want in "life" with the ability to "sync" with their values and aspirations. It creates a personal path for each individual, helping them make more informed and intentional financial decisions. The process is consistent, but the experience is unique to each person. There are five stages in the LifeSunc experience to help answer questions most important to each client. The five steps are:

1. Understand.
2. Planning.
3. Proposal creation.
4. Implementation.
5. Revisit.

LifeSync is the combination of our people + content + tools + solutions and strategies that equate to the collective client experience. I am dedicated to providing comprehensive financial and investment strategies to individuals and couples who are preparing for a major life transition such as retirement, divorce, inheritance, or the sale of a business. I also have a particular focus on working with divorcees and widows.

Individuals who are in the middle of a transition often need specialized financial and investment advice, but many of them may not know where to go.

My experience is in the areas of retirement planning, retirement income planning, and helping clients with healthcare, social security, long-term care, estate-planning strategies, as well as helping them create life-long cash flow strategies.

With access to the vast resources and technology of Wells Fargo Advisors and Wells Fargo Advisors Financial Network, I will help you visualize your life dreams and create strategies to incorporate them into your long-term life and retirement plans.

I earned a bachelor's degree in business administration from California Lutheran University. I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional (CFP®), Certified Investment Management Analyst (CIMA®) and Certified Investment Management Consultant (CIMC®). In 2016 I completed an educational course in Behavioral Financial Advice. I also hold the Series 7 securities registration, as well as applicable insurance licenses.

Born and raised in Santa Rosa, I have lived in Northern California for most of my life. I and my wife, Alison, have two daughters, Rachel and Erin. In my spare time, I engage in various activities, including racquetball and golf. I also enjoy photography, reading, and traveling.
