Empire Partner in Business Feature : Rothgard Financial Partners

Posted Today

Empire has had a long-standing relationship with Rothgard Financial Partners, in fact, one that pre-dates Empire itself! Over many years of working alongside Gino Saggiomo and his team, we’ve seen first‑hand the quality of the relationships they build with their clients.  We are excited to have them feature as our Partner in Business in this month's newsletter.

What has always stood out to us is their genuine, vested interest in their clients’ success. Rothgard doesn’t just provide advice; they walk alongside their clients, take the time to truly understand what matters to them, and remain focused on helping them achieve meaningful, long-term outcomes. It’s an approach that aligns strongly with our own values at Empire, and one of the reasons we’re proud to work closely with them.

That’s enough from me, though. Let’s hear from the man himself!

Tell us about your business

When it comes to making financial decisions, clarity is everything. With so much information, opinion and noise in the market, knowing what actually matters and what makes sense for your situation can feel overwhelming.

That’s where Rothgard Financial Partners comes in.

We work with individuals, families and business owners to help them make confident, well‑considered decisions about their money. Our focus isn’t on short‑term wins or product‑driven advice, but on building a clear, structured plan that supports the life our clients want to live, now and into the future.

Helping clients cut through the noise

Rothgard Financial Partners supports clients at different stages of their financial journey. Some are just getting started and want to put the right foundations in place. Others are dealing with increasing complexity as their wealth, investments or business interests grow.

Clients often come to us when they are:

• Building wealth and investing for the future
• Planning for retirement and lifestyle goals
• Growing, running or exiting a business
• Managing more complexity as their financial world expands

What they all have in common is a desire to be intentional about their financial future. They value advice that is easy to understand, thoughtfully considered and aligned to long‑term outcomes rather than reactive decisions or one‑size‑fits‑all solutions.

Advice that works alongside your other advisers

A key part of Rothgard’s approach is collaboration. We work alongside our clients and their broader advisory team, including accountants, lawyers and other specialists, to ensure every moving part is working together.

By simplifying complexity and providing structure, Rothgard helps clients understand how today’s financial decisions connect to their bigger picture. The goal is confidence: knowing where you’re heading, why you’re making certain choices, and how those choices support what matters most.

Why did you choose financial planning?

My passion for financial advice comes from navigating complexity and turning confusion into clarity.

“There is no shortage of information and opinions out there,” he says. “Distilling what’s actually relevant to you and your life goals can be both time‑consuming and demoralising.”

What motivates me is working through that noise, understanding each client’s individual circumstances, and helping them create a clear plan for their unique future — then walking alongside them as they see it through.

The reality of being in business

Being in business can be one of the most rewarding, yet lonely places to be. It’s easy to swing between euphoria and stress in a blink of an eye.

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is the value of surrounding yourself with trusted people, advisers and peers, who will listen, share experience, provide perspective, and hold you accountable to what you’re working towards.

A conversation focused on clarity

For those who want a clearer picture of where they’re heading financially, or how their business fits into their bigger life goals, Rothgard Financial Partners offers an initial conversation designed to cut through the noise.

This no obligation discussion helps clients step back and consider questions such as:

• Do I have a clear financial plan, or am I just making decisions as things come up?
• Are my current structures and investments aligned with the life I want to live?
• If nothing changed from here, would I be comfortable with where this is heading?

It’s all about creating clarity, structure and confidence for the future.
