| A devotee of far too many interests (cycling, hiking, cross-country skiing, French language and culture, gardening, knitting, reading), Sherrill makes a concerted effort to live the life she has envisioned. She is dedicated to helping her clients do the same. |

Sherrill
J. St. Germain, MBA, CFP®, is founder and principal
of New Means Financial Planning, which was launched in 2003. In building and managing the firm, her guiding principle is to be the financial planner she always wanted to hire before becoming one; that is, one who:
- gives clients the straight answers they need to make informed decisions that are aligned with their short and long term goals,
- develops recommendations based on solid experience, thorough analysis, and up-to-date knowledge in a continuously changing field,
- is compensated in a clear, transparent manner that is free of conflict of interest.
