About us

SAA Financial is a comprehensive financial solutions provider, helping members of the Metro Detroit community achieve their long-term financial goals since 1995. As a second generation family-owned, client-centric organization, we focus on building meaningful relationships with those we serve. We maintain an open-door policy and offer a personalized, positive client experience at each encounter.

SAA Financial was created to help retirement savers and investors of all ages plan for and reach their long-term financial goals. While we offer comprehensive investment management services for all types of investors, we have a niche and specialty in serving 403(b) plan participants who live and work in the local community.

As a full-service firm, clients are never put into a “plug-and-go” investment plan (like many other comparable firms may do). Instead, we deliver personalized investment recommendations and tactical portfolio management solutions.
