The busy attorney's financial advisor | Putting your money where it matters most, so you can reduce your taxes today and tomorrow. Stop tipping Uncle Sam!

Hundreds of law firm owners have worked with me to cut their taxes, protect what they’ve built, and create financial freedom on their terms.

They call me The Wealth Guardian — because my superpower is helping attorneys keep more of what they earn and build a financial foundation that lasts.

Here’s what I see every day:

You’ve built a successful firm.
Clients are happy. Revenue’s strong.

But your tax bill? That’s another story.

Most attorneys don’t overpay because they’re careless.
They overpay because they’re too busy serving others to plan ahead for themselves.

That’s where I come in.

I help law firm owners simplify the complex — so they can stop tipping Uncle Sam and start building lasting wealth.

Our MPG System is built around three goals:
✅ Minimize taxes with proactive, law-firm-specific strategy
✅ Protect income and assets from hidden risks
✅ Grow wealth with clarity and confidence

We start with a simple belief: serve the person, not sell the product.
No cookie-cutter plans. No pressure. Just smart strategy that fits your life and your firm.

A little about me:
I’m a Chicago guy at heart, a lifelong baseball fan (had a little trouble with the curve), and now a Florida resident who still bleeds Blackhawks red. I’m also a proud dad to a physician assistant daughter and an active member of AHEPA, raising scholarship funds for local high school seniors.

Next step:
If you’re ready to see how smart tax and financial planning can create real freedom — let’s talk.

P.S. You’re gonna love the way you feel when you stop tipping Uncle Sam.

Frank Rekas, CPFA

I was asked the other day what I'm most proud of.

The answer was easy.

My daughter.

My little girl isn't so little anymore.

She's creating the life she wants. 
Building a career she worked hard for. 
Becoming the woman I always knew she would be.

Last Saturday, she was in Chicago on a long weekend trip.

My phone rang. 
It was her calling me on FaceTime. 
She was all smiles.

Truth be told I was waiting for the call!

And before she even said a word, she flashed the ring.

Engaged!

Brett, my now future son-in-law, is a terrific young man.

He cares deeply about her.
Comes from a very good family.

And he had the decency and maturity to call me 
about three months ago to ask for my blessing.

I told him that I'm not a relationship expert.

But I asked him for four things:
Love her. 
Protect her. 
Be true to her. 
Communicate with her.

If you can do all those things, no matter how tough things get,
you'll be able to have the best life you can together.

Alexandrea, I'm so proud of you.

Not just because you're engaged, but because of who you've become.

The choices you've made. 
The person you are. 
The life you're building.

This is what makes a father's heart full.

I shaved about 5-7 years off my life today.  

Literally. 

I haven’t fully shaved since Covid. 

2020! 5 years!

It burned. I was bleeding. 
But it feels clean. 
Maybe even smooth
How long will I keep shaving?

I have no idea. 
But for now this is me.

Hi! 😁

No alternative text description for this image

I didn't pick my niche. I discovered it after I quit.

In 2023, I left my management role because I knew 
I needed to get back to working directly with clients.

But I also knew I couldn't keep doing generic wealth 
management for anyone with a pulse.

So I did something most advisors don't do, 
I actually analyzed my client base.

Over 60% were attorneys and law firm owners.

I didn't target them. 
I didn't market to them. 
They just found me and stayed.

That's when it hit me: 
I'd been accidentally building expertise in serving 
law firm owners for years without even realizing it. 

I understood their world, the irregular cash flow, 
the tax exposure, the retirement planning challenges that kept them up at night.

And they valued real planning, not product pushing.

So instead of fighting it or trying to diversify, I went all in.

Fifteen months ago, Rania and I left the corporate 
broker-dealer world entirely and went independent. 

Now I serve law firm owners exclusively with the 
MPG system built specifically for their needs,
minimize taxes, protect assets, grow wealth.

Rania enjoys working with these same people along with me,
and also enjoys working with women in transition.
Widows, divorcees, single moms.  It's important work.

We both like each of our niches and work together on them.

Our clients call me their Wealth Guardian, not just their advisor. 

When someone asks who does their "stuff," they say "Frank's my guy."

Sometimes your niche isn't something you choose. 
It's something you discover when you finally stop 
and look at what's already working.

P.S. What's already working in your business that you're not paying attention to?

This pen isn't for sale.

But maybe you need one anyway.

I've had this Waterman pen since 1997.

Back when applications were done on paper, 
clients would sign their name and stop mid-stroke.

"Wow Frank, this pen is gorgeous." 
"It writes beautifully."
Then they'd try to keep it.

I'm not kidding. 
People would "forget" to hand it back. 
Try to slip it into their purse. 
Pocket it like it was theirs.

The clients who knew about it? 

They'd ask before we even started.
"Can I sign with the pen?"

Like it was part of the experience. Because it was.

Then somewhere along the way, I stopped using it. 
Not sure why. 

Then digital applications took over. 
The pen ended up in a box.

It followed me whenever I moved.

Then a couple of weeks ago I pulled it out. 
I immediately bought new ink cartridges. 

And I started writing with it again.

And wow.

Did I ever miss this pen.

Now I don't need it for applications anymore. 

But when I'm doing my planning? 
My monthly reviews?
My goal setting?

This is the pen I use.

And here's what I noticed:
The ideas flow differently.

Something about the weight. 
The shear elegance of the pen. 
The way it glides across the page.

It makes thinking feel intentional. 
Important. Worth the time I'm spending.

You can't buy this one from me.

But maybe you should get your own.

Not because you need a fancy pen. 

But because the right tools change how you think.
(maybe this was the real hook 🤔 )

And sometimes bringing back what worked before 
is exactly what you need to move forward.

What's something you stopped using that deserves to come back?

My first post has bombed today! 🥵 

Therefore I'm gonna repurpose part of one from last week
in hope for some better exposure and engagement.

I love hanging out with lawyers. 

Niching is one of the best things that I've done. 

In an effort to expand my niche, I want to meet  
people in the legal market while I'm in Columbus, Ohio.

I'll be there from February 3rd to the 8th and would love
to meet you for coffee or even lunch on one of those days.

I'll be in the Grandview area hanging out at Stauf's Coffee Roasters.

Message me directly for time and day, or even a different location.

I'll also tag a few people in the comments.

See you soon....

What if your financial future was actually brighter than you think?

A client said something to me a little while ago that 
I can't stop thinking about, and need to mention.

"Frank, we feel so much better now."

We'd just finished going through their complete financial picture. 
Everything was laid out. It was organized and clear.

Then they said something that really stuck with me:
"After going through this process and seeing what you're doing for us, 
looking forward, things look a lot brighter than we thought."

A lot brighter.

That's what this work is really about.

Not just the protection stuff. 
Not just the tax strategies. 
Not just avoiding the bad things.

It's about making the good things happen.

The lake house you've been talking about. 
Your daughter's college without loans hanging over her. 
The boat. The convertible. The trip to Greece. 
Retiring at 58 instead of grinding until 68.

When you get organized and intentional with your money, 
the dreams stop being "someday" and start being "next year."

I've watched clients buy their dream second home, 
send kids to school debt-free, take a month off to explore Europe, 
and live the life that they want to live for them.

That's what gets me fired up every single day. 
Helping you see that things are brighter than you thought.

Because what's the point of working this hard if you 
can't actually enjoy what you're building?

Here's my question for you: 
What would "a lot brighter" look like in your world?

Want the same feeling my client had? 
That "things are brighter than I thought" moment?

Let me show you what I showed them. 
Reach out and we'll set up 15 minutes.
I'm Frank Rekas, Personal CFO for law firm owners.

We start with a person to serve, not a product to sell.

You're gonna love the way we work, you can count on it.

I took my foot off the gas and was ready to start over.

Friday morning our Boca Elite Mastermind group met 
for our opening meeting of the new year.

6 months ago I was considering ending the 6 year run we were on.

I was frustrated, tired, and had seemingly lost interest.

Then I took a long hard look at what was happening, 
and realized maybe it wasn't them.

Maybe it was me.

On my way to our October meeting, 
I decided to change the format of that days meeting, and thought of 2 questions for the group to openly discuss.

Those two questions changed everything.

The energy came back. 
Not just for me, but for everyone.
Every member said it was one of the best meetings we'd ever had.

November's meeting had the same effect. 

We planned what 2026 would look like and 
how we'd show up for each other.

Everyone had input on why they were there 
and what they felt would benefit each other. 

Our first meeting of the year opened with a bang. 

I sent every member a goals exercise to work on. 

We each shared our top 3 goals of 2026. 
Whether personal or professional, there were some common themes.

Growth. 
Living life under our own terms. 
Setting boundaries around our work. 
Being more present and eliminating distractions around family and loved ones.

Here's what I discovered during this process:

Sometimes the thing that needs fixing isn't the group. 

It's the leader.

I had stopped showing up with the energy I expected from everyone else. 

I'd let routine replace intention.

The moment I owned that and took responsibility? 

Everything changed.

And it wasn't because I had all the answers. 
But because I was willing to start over and do the work.

Six plus years in, and things feel fresh again. 

What's one thing you need to own up to this year?

Stop sounding like everyone else.

I got my weekly LinkedIn report card yesterday from Supergrow.

I've been getting these for three weeks now.

The first two weeks? I skimmed them over.

This week? I decided to pay close attention.

And honestly? It stung me a little.

Not because the numbers were bad.

Because the data exposed something I knew 
but didn't want to admit to myself.

My best performing post last week?

The one about my daughter Alexandrea.

2.8x my average engagement.

Why? Because I got vulnerable about being a proud dad.

My worst performing post?

An event invitation where I buried the details 
and complained about Zoom longer than I actually sold the solution.

0.5x my average.
Ouch.

Here's what the analytics told me:
"You're strongest when you're most human."

People don't want Personal CFO Frank lecturing them 
about tax strategies everyday.

They want "my daughter makes me proud" Frank.

They want "Aunt Mary deserved a better retirement" Frank.

They want the guy who shows up authentically, 
sharing stories, and situations, both good and not so good.

The lesson?

Stop trying to sound like every other advisor.

Stop burying the good stuff.

And please, finish your complete thoughts instead 
of cutting them off mid-sentence.

Save the heavy professional content for weekdays 
when people are more likely to be in business mode.

Saturdays and Sundays?
That's for the personal stories, the lighter moments, and 
the human stuff that doesn't require a business mindset.

I'm taking my own medicine here.

Because if the data says people connect with 
vulnerability and real stories, then that's what I'm going to give them.

Not because it performs better.
But because it's actually who I am.

Have you ever had your own work call you out like this?

What did the data tell you that you didn't want to hear?

What book have you started off 2026 with?

As you know I love to read.

The book has to be in my hand.

I need to dog ear the pages, highlight, and make notes.

I recently finished The Magic of Thinking Big, which if I'm not
mistaken was suggested a while ago by my friend Derrick Kinney.

(If you're a financial advisor, you should follow and connect with him).

Here's what I feel are the 10 best lessons that I learned from the book:

	1.	You don’t need more intelligence to succeed, just think bigger.
         You can learn skills, but you need to choose to believe. 
	2.	Action cures fear, and it cures all slumps.
        Waiting for confidence keeps you stuck. Moving creates it.
	3.	Your excuses set your limits.
        When you stop justifying, you start growing.
	4.	Think goals, not obstacles.
        Successful people train their minds to see solutions first.
	5.	Confidence is visible, and contagious.
        How you carry yourself shapes how others respond to you.
	6.	Average thinking produces average results.
        Big results require intentional, elevated thinking.
	7.	Environment matters more than motivation.
        Surround yourself with people who stretch your vision.
	8.	Results follow attitude faster than strategy.
        Strategy matters, but your mindset determines action.
	9.	You become what you expect of yourself.
        Raise the standard, and behavior rises with it.
	10. Success is not luck it’s learned behavior practiced daily.
          Like Harvey says, he makes his own luck

The biggest breakthroughs I see aren’t tactical, they’re mental.

Thinking bigger changes decisions, and decisions change outcomes.

Which of these 10 lessons do you think are the most crucial for success?

P.S. If you’re a law firm owner who’s focused on long-term thinking, 
long term relationships and real growth, let’s connect.

5 minutes. That's how long 20,000 people stood to honor one man.

For 15 years, Jonathan Toews wore the 'C' for the Chicago Blackhawks.

Named captain at 20 years old. 
Almost unheard of. But leadership doesn't wait for permission.

He guided the Chicago Blackhawks to three Stanley Cups in six seasons. 
He was named playoff MVP in 2010. 
He's won Olympic Gold. 
He has been voted best defensive forward in the league.

He wasn't just a player. 
He was the heartbeat of a franchise. For 15 seasons.

Then he missed two seasons battling health issues. 
The Blackhawks wouldn't offer him a contract. 

Something that I cannot forgive them for.

So he signed with his hometown Winnipeg Jets.

On Monday, January 19th, he came back to Chicago. 
Not as a Blackhawk. As an opponent.
My daughter who got engaged two nights before was there.

The crowd gave him almost a 5-minute standing ovation.

Watch the video by clicking on the link at the end of the post.

You'll see what happens when a fan base is loyal. 
You'll see what happens when you show up 
with everything you have, every single night.

You will feel the love the city of Chicago has.
Chants of Johnny, Johnny at the end of the clip.
Not many dry eyes in the building.

Even more from those watching from home.
Myself included, I'm not afraid to admit.
He is beloved beyond a doubt.

Maybe this belongs on Facebook instead of LinkedIn.

But if you want to know where I learn commitment, 
work ethic, and what it means to lead?

It's from watching people like Jonathan Toews.

Thanks for all the memories Jonathan.

Who's the athlete or leader that shaped how YOU show up?

Six people got together for lunch Monday

It went exactly as we planned.

Me, my business partner, and another member 
from our Boca Elite Mastermind group put it together.

Each of us brought one guest.
We called it "Table for 6."

The conversation started flowing before we even ordered.
It felt like a group of people who already had met before. 
People genuinely wanted to know about each other.

Phone numbers got exchanged. 
Potential business came up naturally.

But here's what mattered most:
People made friends.

And as I left to go back to my home office I thought:
Most professionals are sitting alone wondering why business is slow.

Meanwhile, they're one lunch away from changing everything.

You want more business? 
Stop waiting for it to come to you.

You want better connections? 
Stop hoarding your network like it's a secret.

You want real opportunities? 
Stop hiding behind emails and LinkedIn messages.

Bring people together. 
Be the connector. Make something happen.

Because here's the truth nobody wants to hear:
Your competition isn't better than you.
They're just willing to show up.

When's the last time you created an opportunity 
instead of waiting for one to find you?

Tired of meetings on screen?

Here's an idea that puts people in front of people.

If you’re a law firm owner, attorney, or work in the legal space,
I’m hosting my in person "Legally Connected Happy Hour"

Join me tomorrow at 
📍 Mia Rosebud
 150 E. Palmetto Park Road, Boca Raton
 🗓 Tuesday, January 27
 ⏰ 5:30–7:30 PM

Come for the connections.
Stay for the conversations.

And yes, bring a friend in the legal space.
Good people know good people.

You have to stop what you're doing and watch this.

I mean it.

Chris Williamson and Alex Hormozi delivered 20 minutes 
that'll make you rethink everything about growth.

Here's the quote that hit me over the head:
"When your friends start to tell you you've changed, 
it's because they don't know how to tell you, you've grown."

Mic. Drop.

As law firm owners, you know this feeling.
You're building. Scaling. Investing differently. Thinking bigger.

And the people who knew you before? 
They notice. And sometimes they don't like it.

That's not your problem to solve.

Growth looks like change to people who aren't growing with you.

My friend Mando Sallavanti III, CFP® sent me this, 
and I've watched it twice today already.

Tell me which quote resonates most with you.

Because this conversation deserves a conversation.
