Our History

NorthStar Financial & Retirement Planning began in 2007 when founder George Fossing left his position as a Branch Manager at a large insurance company. He felt he was underserving his clients due to having limited products and resources that were offered through just the one company. Now, being independent, he has access to the universe of products and solutions for his clients.

George also took notice that retirement planning has gotten more complicated over the years and realized it takes a team to fully understand and grasp the new reality that today’s retirees face. NorthStar is one of just a few firms that can truly offer investment strategies, social security planning, tax strategies, long-term care planning, healthcare and Medicare, and estate planning — all under one roof!
