Luke Harder, CFP®, EA, is a dedicated financial planner who partners with clients to grow both their wealth and peace of mind when it comes to money. He brings a unique skill set as both a Certified Financial Planner® and an Enrolled Agent, making the intersection of investments and taxes his specialty.
