ABOUT US
Kropog Financial Group, LLC is an independent wealth management firm with offices in Mandeville and New Orleans, Louisiana. Because we are a family-owned firm, we have a sincere interest in the overall financial well-being of each and every client we serve. Since 1979, we’ve helped our clients organize their financial lives, pursue their financial goals, and preserve and grow their hard-earned assets.
We broker through LPL Financial, the nation’s leading independent broker/dealer*, which means we have no proprietary products, no sales quotas, no investment banking business relationships, or any other conflicts that get in the way of providing personalized financial planning and investment advice. Put another way: our independence allows us to provide our clients with financial advice aligned with their personal objectives, free from conflicts of interest.
In addition to the value offered by working with an independent firm, our clients also benefit from obtaining the advice of financial professionals who are diligent about improving their knowledge of the ever-changing financial world. Jim Kropog and Ryan Kropog have both earned the distinguished CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®) and Retirement Income Certified Professional® (RICP®) designations, credentials that require experience, knowledge, continuing education, and ongoing adherence to regulatory standards. And, as a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) firm, Kropog Financial Group is able to internalize many business practices non-RIA firms cannot, resulting in lower operational costs and therefore lower advisory fees.
Additionally, as CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®) professionals, Jim and Ryan have a fiduciary duty to their clients. This means that they have an obligation to act in their clients’ best interest and to place their clients’ interest ahead of their own, requiring good faith and honesty in all client relationships.
