With over 75 years of combined experience, we have the skills, credentials, and passion to help you to achieve your retirement dreams.

Testimonial

After being a client of Thrive Wealth Advisors for several years, I experienced a significant life event which required a total reset of my financial plan and investment strategy. They were there for me every step of the way, and went above and beyond to make the process as smooth as possible for me at a difficult time. Thank you all.

"Cathy McCloy has been our financial advisor for over six years and it has been a great relationship, but there is a back-story here. When I finally retired in 2010, we initially set up our retirement accounts with a firm in Boston who had been my parents’ financial planners. But as the years went by, we tossed around the idea of bringing our accounts to someone closer to where we live in Fairfax Station, VA. Our daughter had set up her account with Cathy many years ago so when we shared the idea of centering our accounts, we asked her about her experiences with Cathy. She couldn’t have been more praiseworthy. So, we called Cathy. We laid out to her what we wanted to do and set the process in motion. Since we are in the position of setting up legacy accounts, Cathy set up all our investments in a series of accounts to meet our needs and we have never looked back. Our relationship has turned out better than we could have ever expected, and the results speak for themselves. Not only has Cathy been a true professional and trusted investment advisor, she has also been a good friend advising us about setting up programs such as a long-term health care program, in case we need one, and advising us setting up all necessary documentation to ensure that we and our children are totally protected as well as providing valued investment advice It is hard to overstate how much we appreciate Cathy's guidance over the years and will continue for as long as we need. We would recommend her as a true and trusted financial advisor. Cathy is the total package."

My mother passed away in 2008 leaving me with an inheritance which I invested conservatively with Cathleen McCloy, now of Thrive Wealth Advisors, to fund my retirement, which was about a decade away. Cathy was a financial advisor to my mom, and before that to a cousin. My goal was to earn the most money while incurring the least risk. Cathy recommended a number of investments to create a balanced portfolio which over the years has grown appreciably. I am now enjoying the retirement I’d hoped for.
