20th Anniversary of the Founding of Frisch Financial


Not everyone gets to do what they love for a living, but on June 25, 1999, when David Frisch began accepting clients for his new financial firm based out of his apartment in New York City, it was out of a passion for helping people from which this startup grew into the strong company it is today. Frisch Financial has established itself as an industry-recognized firm which currently manages approx. $440 million in assets and has remained constant in its dedication to providing comprehensive fee-only financial planning and investment management. Now, as Frisch Financial reaches the milestone of its 20th anniversary, there are many people to thank and accomplishments to celebrate.

Beginning in a home office and stepping up into larger professional spaces several times along the way, it was Frisch’s commitment from the start to provide the best services possible for our clientele. Now, in addition to our headquarters in Melville, NY, we have expanded to include offices in New York City, White Plains, NY and Tampa, FL. Regardless of our location, our emphasis has always been on striving to put our clients first and to do what is in their best interest. “I’ve enjoyed every minute of the last 20 years helping our clients and the multi-generations of our clients attain their financial goals,” states President and Founder David Frisch.

Jason Sacks, Partner and Director of Investments adds, “I am extremely proud of our 20th year anniversary. We have accomplished this by growing organically, and never wavering on our values. We continue to believe that a ‘client-centric’ focus and hiring the right employees is the secret to our success. Thank you to our clients and employees for helping us achieve this milestone.”
