Our Story
Our Story
We're here to help you live a financially empowered life.
Simplify financial lives.
Design financial strategies.
Advocate to implement them.
Our name is our purpose and mission. SDA stands for what we do best: Simplify, Design, and Advocate. It’s not only a reflection of our expertise but an acronym that combines the first initials of our founder, Scott Coopersmith, and his kids, Daniel and Alexa. This connection is what made it the perfect name for us.
