John J. Malzone, CFP® – John has been in the financial services industry for 35 years. He started with Thompson McKinnon in 1983 as a broker. John was quickly promoted to sales manager and then Branch Manager at the age of 35. He always liked what he did but, initially, did not like the way it was done on Wall Street. In 1992, John discovered a better way of working with clients as a fee-only fiduciary, thereby avoiding the conflicts of interest so common among commissioned brokers. Since there were no major firms offering this type of un-conflicted service at the time, John started his own SEC Registered Advisory firm in 1993. John earned his Certified Financial Planner® credentials in October 1994. After running his own successful and growing Investment Advisory business in Bucks County PA for 24 years, John decided it was time to leverage his business by aligning himself with a team of like-minded professionals to expand and enhance services to clients. After 7 years of searching for the right business affiliation, John was introduced to Main Street Financial Solutions by TD Ameritrade in 2016 and joined our firm in January of 2017.
John was born and raised in Far Rockaway and Long Island.
