Our History

We have demonstrated decades of success maximizing the relationships between our team and our clients to help impact the lives of those who put their trust in us.

In 2020, CFS expanded by merging with a well-established firm in Farmington, Connecticut, under the leadership of Richard Gribinas and Bob Worgaftik. For more than a quarter of a century CFS has been a leading provider of comprehensive wealth planning services becoming a recognized leader in financial services. We are dedicated to providing personalized service and adhering to the highest ethical standards in all of our clients' endeavors.
