Early in his professional career Larry spent ten years with the U.S Department of Treasury where he helped develop and implement programs to offset annual tax short falls. There he learned that continuous annual federal budget deficits and an increasing national debt will eventually result in higher tax rates. Once this occurs, cash flow, ealth accumulation, and lifestyle may be diminished for a very long time. So, it is vitally important to develop a financial plan that will reduce the impact of potentially higher tax rates on future retirement income.
After leaving the U.S Treasury Department, Larry became a financial advisor working for two major financial service firms. One was the insurance industry, and the other in the securities industry. With the financial planning training those firms provided him, plus his Treasury experience, Larry was uniquely positioned to help clients determine their financial needs as well as develop and implement a plan to meet those needs.
In 1995 Larry founded Lowder Financial Group, offering comprehensive financial planning services to business owners, professionals, executives, and retirees. As an Independent Advisor, as well as being a Certified Financial Fiduciary, Larry is committed to always putting a client's interest first, to making their goals the foundation of their financial plan, and to providing them the education, knowledge, and guidance needed to make sound, informed decisions.
Larry has a BBA Degree from Wake Forest University and an MBA from the Whaton Executive MBA Program.
