Cathy Pareto, MBA, CFP®, AIF® - President & Founder
Cathy Pareto, MBA, CFP®, AIF® is the Founder and President of Cathy Pareto &
Associates, Inc. For nearly fifteen years, Cathy has been helping financial consumers and
professionals understand the world of investments and personal finance with a sound,
but down to earth money management approach.
Money management does not have to be an intimidating and mystifying process. Cathy's
belief is that there is more to investment management and financial planning than just
the numbers. It takes commitment, clear communication and trust between the Advisor
and the Client to plan out a strategy, and it requires the experience of a competent Advisor
to execute that strategy.
For over a decade Cathy was a Senior Financial Advisor for another Miami based
investment advisory firm, where she managed over $200 million in assets for high net
worth clients and retirement plans. She has extensive experience in retirement issues,
asset allocation, investment selection, investment management, education planning,
estate planning coordination, and asset protection strategies.
Educational Background
Cathy earned her BA in Finance and later her Executive MBA at Florida International
University, graduating in the top three of her class and as a result she was inducted into
the prestigious Beta Gamma Sigma Graduate Business Honors Society. Additionally,
she was an Adjunct Professor and Faculty Coordinator for the CFP® Program at Florida
International University’s College of Business.

including Forbes.com, Yahoo Finance, Investopedia, Women in Business, Miami

Sentinel, CNNfn, Latina Magazine, Hispanic Trends, AARP's Segunda Juventud, and
