With the founding of Ancora Wealth Partners, Angie Hall has discovered the ideal way to combine her servant’s heart with her knowledge and experience as a financial planner to positively impact peoples’ lives.

Down-to-earth, honest and diligent, Angie is able to relate to her clients, many of whom have worked hard, saved well and made wise decisions along the way. “Not everyone is born into wealth, but everyone has a dream and opportunity,” says Angie, who comes alongside her clients to help them create a plan, not just on the professional level but on a personal level as well.

Angie believes relationships are the foundation of success, and she loves getting to know her clients, building a connection with them, helping them set goals and make consistent strides toward success.

“I get the greatest satisfaction from seeing a client’s plans come to life – whether it’s sending their child to college, paying for a wedding, or confidently entering retirement,” says Angie. “My life experiences have shown me that if you are willing to work for something it will pay off. I want to put that truth into practice with my clients. ”

Business owner, volunteer, and mother to two boys, Angie is highly organized and is accustomed to managing multiple responsibilities. “I know that life can throw a lot at you, and that success requires discipline and determination,” said Angie. “I want my clients to see me as a partner, coach, planner and knowledgeable resource who can help them reach their particular financial goals.”
