Empower House Financial Group

What we do for you

We empower you to live the life you want with confidence and purpose through a smart investment approach and wealth planning process that aligns your finances with your life.

Each client we work with is more than a portfolio. You bring us your goals, worries, hopes, and dreams and we adopt them as our own. We offer tools, resources, education, and a network of knowledge to support and guide you. We will help you efficiently save for your child's college and create a plan to care for your elderly parents. We will guide you through career transitions and retirement. We can be counted on during divorce or the loss of a spouse. We also understand women's unique financial needs and how to help maximize their wealth in all phases of life.

As a family business, we have been successfully managing people's money for three generations. Over the past 70 years, we've learned first-hand that life can be unexpected and unexpectedly beautiful at the same time. This helps us bring you the financial experience to make the most of how you're living today and how you want to be living tomorrow.

What makes us impactful:

Perspective We’re a three-generation family team, providing you with continuity and a seasoned perspective.
Reputation We’ve been part of the community since the 1950’s, committed to offering you high-quality service and creating a reputation we’re proud of.
Experience As one of the larger practices in the area, we frequently work with individuals and families, giving us the experience to provide guidance for your family, whatever its dynamics and goals.
Expertise & Education Our team member, Nora Yousif, is regularly asked to present seminars and comment on personal finance topics by the media. She has been featured on NBC Boston, Channel 5 ABC, NECN, WBZ News radio, CNBC, Forbes and Yahoo! Finance. This benefits you as it helps us to stay on top of industry headlines, and hones our ability to simplify complex financial information.
Knowledge In addition to being a CFP®, Nora Yousif completed her MBA at MIT Sloan, a program immersed in quantitative analysis and advanced investment techniques developed by some of the most intelligent minds in the world of business and finance. She brings this insight to you.
