About Us

Howard Bluhm began working in the financial service profession in 1977. Later he founded Bluhm and Associates, working diligently to ensure his clients’ financial goals are met and that they live stress-free during retirement.

During the past 40 years at Bluhm and Associates, no retired client has had to go back to work, rely on assistance programs, or financially depend on family. We carefully work to protect your assets, so they are there for you to enjoy at the time when they are needed most.

Our Approch

  • Taking the time to get to know our clients and to identify their personal needs and goals is step one in any successful relationship.

  • We have always helped our clients weigh the pros and cons of any program they currently have or are considering in order to make the right decision.

  • Being an independent firm, we are able to find the best programs and rates that benefit our clients. We are not captive to one company and its line of products.

  • We specialize in risk averse programs. You worked hard for many years to enjoy your wealth later in life. Why should you be exposed to index volatility and fluctuations?
