How to Find Us
Our physical office is located at 4628 Summerdale Blvd, Unit B, off Highway 90 in Pace, Florida. Our office is directly off Summerdale Blvd, so do not go into the professional plaza when you arrive (you won't find us! We face the road). Also, because our office space is inside the Reeder Financial Group, when you arrive, look for "Reeder Financial Group" on the door. We work both virtually and in-office, so we are not always in the office. Meetings are by appointment only.
We also serve legal clients virtually throughout Florida and business consulting clients virtually across the USA.
