Leonetti & Associates joins Fairport Wealth


By Fairport Wealth

We are pleased to welcome Leonetti & Associates, a wealth management firm located in Buffalo Grove, IL (a suburb north of Chicago), to Fairport Wealth. Much like Ken Coleman and Heather Ettinger at Fairport, the leadership at Leonetti & Associates is guided by a male and female team.

Michael Leonetti, CFP®, CFS®, AIF® founded Leonetti & Associates, Inc. in 1982 and was among the pioneers in championing fee-only planning. A humble entrepreneur, Mike is a well-respected professional and founding and current member of the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors, the Financial Planning Association and the Investment Management Consultants Association. Deborah Feldman, CFP® joined Leonetti & Associates in 1984 and serves as President and Director of Wealth Management today. Empathetic and trustworthy, her success as a wealth manager is reflected most recently by her inclusion in Forbes’ 2020 Top Advisors in State and Forbes’ 2020 Top Women Wealth Advisors.

Their team of 11 in total consists of long-tenured credentialed planners and skilled service providers.

Our recent transition to a remote workplace environment has offered a silver lining as our Cleveland team became more well-acquainted with the Buffalo Grove team through regular virtual firmwide meetings and check ins. Integrating their team into our organizational structure has been, and will continue to be, valuable to Fairport Wealth. Their organization is rooted in complimentary values, and, like us, their relationship with one another and their clients feels deeply personal.

We’re excited to grow and continuously improve as an organization and look forward to inspiring even more families alongside our Chicago teammates.  Learn more about the team here
