Who is Family Focus?

Mike Ross

Mike entered the financial services industry in 1997 with Freedom 55 Financial until 2008. In 2008, he moved his financial practice from Freedom 55 Financial and incorporated as a broker under the name "Rossy Financial" which is now "Family Focus Financial".  Becoming a broker through his contract with IDC WIN has allowed him to offer his clients products from many companies that best fit their particular situation.  

Mike’s approach with his clients is to focus on the holistic picture to help them reach their full financial potential. Cash flow and debt strategies are a big part of his business along with showing clients how to take more control over their financial lives rather than focusing on traditional financial planning methods. An important part of helping clients build a solid foundation is to show them strategies around controlling their own banking system with more liquidity, use, and control over their money to take advantage of financial opportunities as they arise and at the same time staying away from toxic debt.

He is a specializes in the areas of infinite banking concepts, velocity banking, mortgage purchases and re-finances.

In 2018 Mike added a mortgage broker license to his financial practice after years of working with cash flow and debt strategies. Having a mortgage broker license has expanded his knowledge of mortgage and debt planning past the traditional financial planning training. He understands that how people control and pay down their debt is a fundamental part of planning that needs to be addressed for each family to help them reach their full financial potential.
