California Law Enforcement & Peace Officers

 
Our commitment to guiding local Law Enforcement & Peace Officers towards sound financial judgement is unwavering. It’s hard work being a peace officer. The steady support of the community is critical. In troubled times like these, we believe you’ve got just about enough on your shoulders.
 
You also retire substantially younger than other public employees which presents special challenges to retirement planning–frankly, your plan needs to be bulletproof…
 

Why Us?

For nearly two decades we’ve been serving those who serve… and protect.
 
Our mission is to provide a solid educational foundation to every Public Safety employee seeking to understand their benefits; and to further guide you in the integration and coordination of those benefits towards the goal of achieving their maximum value and ultimately deriving the financial security you deserve.
 
We are intimately familiar with LACERA, VCERA, CalPERS, LAFPP, CSRS, FERS & various other State & Local retirement systems.

We provide a refreshing twist on planning.

At Carington Financial, we provide “Best Interests” advice… so you know for sure you’re getting the same type of advice I would give my own family. For many years we have provided Financial Literacy Counseling to the Public Sector… In my heart, I am more a teacher, driven by an underlying attitude that an informed person makes better decisions. I’m also more than just a financial planner, I am someone who can relate to you and understand where you’re coming from. Moreover, I respect and admire your sustained efforts to ensure our safety as you protect our families and serve our communities.
