Focusing On Your Unique Financial Picture
Welcome to Midwest Investment and Business Advisors (MIBA), where our commitment to excellence and client satisfaction sets us apart in the financial advisory landscape. Located nearby the vibrant city of Chicago, Illinois, we proudly serve clients across the United States, offering tailored financial solutions that meet diverse needs and goals.
At the heart of MIBA is the combination of our founder, Don Zolfo’s, CFP® certification knowledge and his trading experience.
The CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® certification is
recognized as the gold standard in the financial planning industry. Don regularly remarks, “I knew that earning my CFP® certification would take my knowledge to the highest level and help me to better serve my clients.”
With a rich history of trading options for his own accounts in the bustling trading pits of the Chicago Board of Trade, and having spent 15 years teaching options to institutional traders, our founder also brings a wealth of knowledge in sophisticated trading products to our firm. This experience equips us with a vast array of risk management tools, allowing us, when appropriate, to craft strategies that both build wealth and protect assets.
