Creating a Future of Financial Freedom
Supporting individuals, physicians, business owners, and families across Westlake Village with CFP®-led planning designed to bring more clarity to every financial decision.
A Simple, Structured Approach
People usually are not looking for more financial noise—they are looking for a plan that finally makes sense. With Classic Financial guiding each step, these are the advantages that help clients feel more organized, informed, and confident moving forward.
Fiduciary Commitment
Financial recommendations feel more trustworthy when your advisor puts your interests first instead of pushing products or commissions.
Integrated Financial Planning
A CFP®-led planner coordinates your investments, taxes, retirement, and insurance into one comprehensive financial strategy—helping reduce complexity and keep every aspect of your plan working together.
Experience With Medical & Healthcare Professionals
Physicians and healthcare professionals often face unique income structures and long-term planning needs, and specialized guidance helps simplify those moving parts.
Long-Term Client Relationships
When your financial life changes over time, working with a team that already understands your goals makes future decisions easier and more consistent.
CFP®-Led Financial Guidance
Big financial decisions often come with pressure, conflicting advice, and uncertainty about what actually fits your goals. Whether you are preparing for retirement, growing a business, managing a medical career, or building long-term wealth for your family, it is easy to feel like every financial move affects five others. Classic Financial helps bring structure to those decisions through fiduciary guidance, coordinated planning, and more than 60 years of combined advisory experience led by Charles M. Russo, CFP® and Ellen Horn's team. From investment management to insurance and tax-aware planning, clients in Westlake Village turn to our team when they want advice shaped around real life instead of generic strategies.
Services Designed Around Long-Term Financial Clarity
Wealth Management
Managing investments without a broader strategy can create uncertainty about risk, taxes, and long-term growth. Classic Financial provides wealth management guidance aligned with your full financial picture and long-term priorities.
Financial Planning
Financial decisions can feel disconnected when every advisor focuses on only one part of your life. Our planning process helps organize your goals, timelines, and priorities into a strategy that feels clearer and easier to follow.
Insurance
The right coverage does more than protect against risk — it preserves everything you've worked to build. We help clients put the right protection in place at every stage of life, so the people and plans that matter most are never left exposed.
Who We Work With
We serve high net worth individuals, families, business owners, and executives across the Conejo Valley who are ready to take a comprehensive approach to their financial lives — from building and protecting wealth to planning a legacy that lasts.
