Sam Slabaugh is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional and the founder of EST Financial Group. As a business owner in the early 1990's, Sam consulted with accountants, lawyers, stockbrokers, and insurance agents on different aspects of his finances. Each of the professionals left him to mesh the advice by himself. This experience was one of the main reasons he decided to enter the field of financial planning—so he could help other business owners understand the complexities of finance. In 1997, Sam began building the unique practice he has today, EST Financial Group.
