Episode 221: When Disaster Strikes – Part Two

Allan Robertson and Sydney Robertson of Clear View Advisors

"I tried to do some business to try to talk to clients and there's always something going on in the market. So we tried to do that, but the office really stepped up and our other advisors, my other partners, everybody just did a great job and allowed us to focus on what we needed to do.” – Allan Robertson
“It was an emergency, and it really just showed that no matter what situation arises, you know, we can make sure that we're taken care of and then ultimately our clients.” – Sydney Robertson

About Sydney Robertson

Sydney Robertson is the newest and youngest advisor on the Clear View Advisors team, where wealth and retirement planning form the foundation of their practice. However, the firm’s strength lies in its ability to offer personalized solutions through the collective expertise of its ensemble team.

Her journey into financial services was inspired by her father, a mentor and role model who has built an extraordinary 25-year career in the industry and co-led his successful ensemble practice for the past 18 years. In 2016, she dabbled in the industry, providing administrative support to the Clear View practice during its transition to Cambridge. This early exposure sparked her interest in the financial services field, and in 2022, she felt a renewed calling to fully immerse herself in the profession and carry forward the legacy her father helped build.

Now a fully licensed Advisor and Insurance Agent, Sydney is passionate about empowering clients to take control of their financial well-being while guiding them toward achieving their long-term aspirations. Her dedication, enthusiasm, and client-centered approach are at the core of her mission to help individuals confidently navigate their financial journeys.

Sydney is proud to carry forward the tradition of excellence at Clear View Advisors, helping create lasting financial success for both current and future generations.
