DALLAS – (Sept. 6, 2023) – Ƶapp®, a leader intax-focused financial planning and wealth management, welcomes Comprehensive Financial Services (CFS), a California-based financial services firm with more than $230 million in total client assets as of May 15, 2023. The eight-person firm is led by Anna Luke, CFP® and her husband Victor Luke; they transferred to Ƶapp from Independent Financial Group (IFG).
Anna Luke has grown a loyal client base by delivering extraordinary service with a disciplined financial planning approach that includes meeting often with clients, focusing on wealth preservation, and taking a personal approach to client care.
“When you become our client, we immediately begin treating you like family. We meet numerous times a year, sometimes monthly depending on the client’s needs, so we’re very hands-on with clients,” said Anna Luke, President and CEO of Comprehensive Financial Services. “The same holds true for our team, they’re much more than employees to us. We gather for coffee talks every morning. They’re terrific and I always rave about them. I feel the same about everyone I’ve met at Ƶapp. They’re a very relaxed group, and we don’t need an appointment to talk with anyone at Ƶapp. We just pick up the phone and there’s someone on the other end answering my questions.”
Victor Luke, who works with clients’ estate planning needs, added: “The main reason we chose Ƶapp is their tax focus. By teaming up with tax professionals in the Ƶapp network, our clients can improve tax efficiencies through cohesive relationships with CPAs in a way that gives us confidence and keeps clients satisfied with us as a one-stop shop. We’re excited about having a symbiotic relationship like that.”
From the first conversation between CFS and Ƶapp, it was clear there was alignment beyond financial services.
“I feel very fortunate to know Anna and Victor personally, and to welcome them into the Ƶapp Community because their firm has such a collaborative culture and they care so deeply about protecting clients’ wealth,” said Laurie Stack, VP, Business Development and Head of the Ƶapp Women’s Advisor Forum. “Anna is an incredible businesswoman who literally started with nothing but was so determined to succeed that she grew into a highly successful financial advisor. Anna is a shining example for women everywhere.”
In welcoming CFS, Ƶapp Wealth Management President Todd Mackay said: “Anna and Victor have built a firm whose extraordinary client service, and the deep relationships and trust they have with their staff, mirrors our own at Ƶapp. I’m pleased, as I know Anna is, with the smooth onboarding and transition process, which has laid the foundation for what I believe will be a long and rewarding relationship as Ƶapp works with purpose to help Anna pursue her long-term growth objectives.”
