Our Team

Vincent T. Hirsch, known as “Vic” to his friends, was born and raised in New Jersey.  He was awarded a purple heart during his service in World War II.  Following the War he went to work for The Prudential Insurance Company of America.  Vic became the first agent in the State of New Jersey to qualify for The Million Dollar Round Table, which is the highest achievement in the insurance industry.  Vic was asked to expand Prudential’s operations into Monmouth and Ocean County in 1957.  Vic opened four offices operating under “Vincent T. Hirsch and Associates” with locations in Asbury Park, Middletown, Lakewood and Toms River.  The Monmouth and Ocean County offices were the first Prudential branch offices to open outside of Newark and the first offices in Central-Southern New Jersey.  In 1973, Vincent T. Hirsch stepped down as manager of the Prudential Monmouth and Ocean offices and together with his son, Vincent J. Hirsch, they formed Vincent Hirsch Financial Services.     

Despite his success in business, Vincent T. Hirsch is best remembered for his extensive work with charitable community organizations. Vic’s charitable work included his efforts as one of the original founders of the American Cancer Society’s Monmouth County Unit in the early 1950s.  He continued as an active member of the American Cancer Society from the 1950’s-1980’s holding the offices of Fund Raising Chairman and Chairman of the Board.  Vincent T. Hirsch was President of the United Way, a member of the Boys Club Advisory Board and served on the Board of Governors at Jersey Shore Medical Center.  Vic also volunteered his time to coach the St Rose High School Varsity Boys Basketball Team from 1945-1951 and his team won the State Championship in 1949.

As a Financial Planner, Chris specializes in comprehensive financial planning services for a fee. Throughout the consultative financial planning process, I work with my clients and their advisors, as applicable, to formulate a detailed and robust financial plan that is tailored to their needs. The process I follow utilizes an integrated approach, helping my clients become more aware of their personal finances, future needs and how one financial decision impacts another. I work closely with my clients to help them understand the results of their written plan which includes non product specific strategies to help them achieve their goals. The plan can then be implemented with me, other professionals, or a combination of both. 

My financial planning services cover:
• Retirement planning
• Education planning 
• Estate strategies
• Risk Management 
• Insurance Needs
• Investment Planning
• Funding for a Major Purpose
• Current Net Worth and Cash Flow Statements

Chris' knowledge in this area can provide tremendous value to clients by delivering smart strategies for creating secure, sustainable income for a clients retirement.
