McClain Lovejoy where more than your money matters

A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO FINANCE

We are John Lovejoy and Eric McClain. We created McClain Lovejoy as a fee-only financial planning and investment management firm with a focus on delivering comprehensive retirement plans and custom investment strategies for present and future retirees. We love nothing more than helping people make the most of their financial resources. Our goal is to help retirees and pre-retiree clients simplify their financial affairs and invest in the next stage of their lives, helping them free up precious time and energy to focus on what’s really important to them. Because your happiness matters to us, not just your money.

We do things our way, enabling us to focus solely on your best interests, without restrictions..

DOING THE HARD WORK FOR YOU

We make the most out of your financial resources, imparting energy into your plan and providing the guidance you need to achieve your goals.

JUST THE TWO OF US

We’re a small firm, and that’s just the way we like it. Armed with the freedom, expertise and passion to create custom retirement and financial plans that are tailored to the unique needs of each individual client, we do things our way – which ultimately translates to YOUR way. Our goal is to help you plan, save, and eventually transition into a successful and secure retirement. We utilize our decades of experience to deliver comprehensive retirement plans with a personal touch. It’s a unique and hands-on service with on-going monitoring and management, and we take pride in building long-term relationships with all of our clients.

The gift of time, that’s what we really give people. Our time and dedication, of course, but we also help free up more of your own precious time, enabling you to enjoy the things you love.
