Robert began his career working with small businesses in the banking industry before briefly transitioning to corporate finance. After realizing the corporate world was not for him, he began helping small & medium sized businesses determine potential financial damages & relocate due to municipal road construction projects. His interactions with different businesses across a wide range of industries ultimately led him to founding Hancock Financial, LLC.

What sets Robert apart from other Business Advisors is that his level of commitment to his clients’ success is not related to the size of their business. While he truly enjoys working with all businesses from startups to mergers, his greatest professional enjoyments are helping business owners realize more internal organizational success than they ever thought possible and seeing younger generations take family-owned businesses into the future.

Whether you want to improve a single aspect or multiple aspects of your business, grow organically or through acquisition, scale your operations up or down, formulate a succession plan, or plan an exit strategy, Robert will work diligently with you every step of the way to ensure your goals for your business are accomplished.
