![]() Our History and Mission
Eastern Planning, Inc. began in 1995 with a simple vision: provide superior customer service and personal, practical advice. In 2000, Beth Blecker took over as CEO of the company and grew the firm to its present scope, serving hundreds of clients nationwide.
We value the strong bonds we have with each client and are committed to providing them with the opportunity to achieve financial freedom and the enjoyment of their quality of life. Inspiring clients is key, helping each one make informed decisions through education, communication and service. ![]() Beth L. Blecker*, CEORFC
“Every client is different. My goal is to achieve the highest level of understanding of their situation. Only then can I help them plan with confidence.”
An IRA and distribution expert, Beth considers herself to be an educator as much as she is an advisor. She counsels near-retirees on proactive financial management so they can enjoy life; she focuses on helping women develop strong financial literacy and she guides each client to take an active role in creating their own customized investment portfolio. Beth helped launch Eastern Planning in 1995 after a 20-year career with a CPA firm. In 2000, she took over as CEO and has grown Eastern Planning into a financial firm that strives to provide superior customer service and personal, practical advice. She is a member of Ed Slott Master Elite Advisors, an organization of financial advisors who are dedicated to being among leaders in the IRA industry. In her quest to bring solid financial knowledge to a wider audience, Beth lectures at local colleges, offers regular workshops and has hosted the weekly internet show, Taking Control: Financial Independence for Women (which is translated for the hearing-impaired audience). Beth is past President of the Rockland Business Women’s Network, a non-profit organization that supports and empowers women by providing networking and educational opportunities. Beth’s passionate involvement in the community has inspired her to volunteer in many areas. She serves on the boards of People to People and the United Way of Rockland and is a Big Sister with Rockland County Big Brother Big Sister program. She also loves completing puzzles and reading books with grandson Spencer.
