About My Company
We started this practice in 2010 with a straightforward goal of helping people make smarter financial decisions by bringing together tax expertise and comprehensive planning. Too often, these areas get treated separately, which means opportunities get missed and strategies don't work as well as they could. We saw a better way forward.
How We Work
Your financial life doesn't exist in separate boxes, so we don't treat it that way. Tax decisions affect investment returns. Business structure impacts retirement planning. Charitable giving intersects with estate strategy. We look at the complete picture to find opportunities that might otherwise go unnoticed. Our focus stays on what actually matters to you. That means taking time to understand your situation, explaining options in plain language, and building strategies you can feel confident about. We're proactive about bringing ideas to you rather than waiting for problems to surface, and we tailor every recommendation to your specific circumstances.
What Guides Us
Three core values shape how we serve our clients.
Stewardship means we treat every resource and opportunity as something entrusted to us. We manage these gifts with integrity and take that responsibility seriously.
Service drives us to create real value in every interaction. This isn't about transactions. It's about genuinely uplifting the people we work with.
Impact pushes us to be a positive force for our clients, their families, and their communities. The work we do ripples outward, and we're mindful of that effect.
Our Commitment
We believe financial responsibility is something everyone can learn. Part of our role is educating you so you can make informed decisions for yourself and the people who depend on you. That education happens naturally through our conversations, not through lectures or complicated jargon. Your best interests come first, always. We're here to serve you well and help you build something meaningful with what you've earned.
Leona H. Chan, CPA, PFS
Founder & President, LHC Wealth Advisory
I've spent nearly two decades helping clients who need more than tax preparation. They need someone who sees the complete financial picture and can build strategies that work across their business, personal wealth, and legacy goals.
My path here started simply. Friends and family kept coming to me with financial questions, and I loved finding answers that made a real difference. That's when I decided to take my CPA expertise and expand to Personal Financial Specialist (PFSTM). Growing up in Hong Kong, I watched my family build a real estate business through determination and hard work. Their example showed me what's possible with full commitment to something meaningful. That spirit led me to start my own accounting and tax consulting firm, and eventually expand into comprehensive financial planning.
I earned my degree from the University of Connecticut and hold CPA licenses in both Connecticut and New York, along with my Securities licenses and Personal Financial Specialist designation. I have passed Series 7, SIE, 6, and 63, as well as holding Life Insurance, Health and Annuity License. As a CPA and PFS, tax strategy is where I focus most. Whether you're a business owner looking to grow efficiently, preparing for retirement, or thinking about charitable giving, the tax implications touch everything. I work to build strategies that help you keep more of what you earn and direct it toward what matters most.
When we talk, you'll find I'm genuinely interested in understanding where you are and where you want to go. This work is about building something meaningful together.
