"Running a wealth management firm is a vocation that gives me great joy."

 

Suzanne is the owner and President of Lundeen Abrams Advisors, LLC, an independent Registered Investment Advisory firm.

 

She lives in Minnetonka, Minnesota with her husband, Josh, and two sons, Felix and Arlo and their new pandemic puppy, Monty.

 

Suzanne has been advising clients for 15 years and has done so in various iterations of her current firm. 

 

Suzanne is a trusted advisor to her clients and a friend to many. She loves meeting new people and is a natural connector. Having grown up in the western 'burbs of Minneapolis, her sense of community is deeply felt. She enjoys lifting others up and making an impact.

 

Her mission to serve independent women by guiding them through life transitions means her office is a refuge of sorts. She hopes when people come into her space, they feel a sense of relief that they can let everything go and be honest about what is going on in their lives. Getting to the core of her clients' wishes and dreams allows her to support them on the path toward creating the life and legacy of their dreams. Although she runs her firm independently, her business model incorporates a team of other important advisors including CPAs and attorneys and a variety of other professionals depending on the particular planning needs. 

 

Suzanne is an avid reader and can't get enough of reading about the world. She looks forward to travelling again because she loves exploring museums and architecture and learning about other cultures.

 

Economic and investment topics are her jam and she's a magnet to anything that involves the intersection of women and economics. She aims to help women to utilize their strengths to overcome the innate challenges they face due to caregiving responsibilities and unpaid or underpaid work. She believes in harnessing the power of the purse. Women who leverage their wealth in powerful ways can drive positive social change since women in the U.S. control 11.2 trillion of the nation's investable assets as decision-makers. Creating powerful wealth strategies for women is Suzanne's primary vocation.

 

There are many tools that she uses to help her clients. She prioritizes putting insurance in place to protect assets and provide security. This can include life, disability, and long term care insurance. Insurance is an important tool to amplify giving and to exponentially increase one's philanthropic power. 

 

She wants to teach women to think big and dream big. Coaching her clients through the steps of envisioning goals, setting steps in place to achieve them and then implementing those steps can allow for magical things to happen. 

 

When she's not working, she enjoys spending time with her friends and family, gardening and landscape design, practicing yoga and vegetarian cuisine. She also plays violin and has recently enjoyed jamming on a new electric violin with her band in a socially-distanced manner.
