Welcome to Target Wealth Strategies, L.L.C. I created this company out of a desire to be able to offer clear, unbiased advice to my clients. After working at a large multi-national investment firm, I felt that my clients deserved a Financial Advisor who could empower their objectives and not just place them in a corporate cookie cutter mould. Irwin Weiser, a long time local fixture in the Ft. Lauderdale CPA and Financial Advisor scene, joined this endeavor as our visions were the same. We continue to remain affiliated with LPL Financial, one of the largest national networks of independent financial service providers. Remaining independent allows us to realize a commitment to our professions, our community and ultimately the financial success of our clients. Thank you for visiting our webpage.
