About Us

Let’s make your dream retirement a reality.

Foguth Financial Group was established in 2009 by Michael Foguth with the mission to remove barriers to maximize retirement dollars and reduce the financial pressures of those nearing or in retirement.

Michael started with in-home client appointments, before opening our first office in 2011 in Howell, Michigan. In 2016, after many years of rapid growth, Foguth Financial Group moved to its current headquarters in Brighton, Michigan. In 2019, Foguth Financial Group opened its first satellite office in Northville, Michigan. Since then, Michael has been able to expand his advisory and support staff across eight office locations to conveniently service clients in-person. From simple beginnings, Foguth Financial Group has expanded to meet the needs of its clientele. Today, Michael and his team are dedicated to educating their clients so they can make informed financial decisions.

They say that every day, 10,000 baby boomers retire. But, will they retire and live the second half of their life the way they imagined? With the economy changing daily and new laws introduced every year, retirement can be overbearing and complex.

More than ever before, pre-retirees and retirees have to consider all aspects of their retirement such as Wills, Trusts, Power of Attorneys, Taxes, Social Security, Estate Planning, Medicare, and planning to live longer than they imagined. In addition to this, trying to stay up on all of these changes can be time-consuming, frustrating, and demotivating. So much so that some people give up on planning for retirement altogether while planning to work the rest of their lives. A recent study by USA Today supports this and states that 1 in 4 Americans plan to never retire!

Our Philosophy

At Foguth Financial, we recognize this and can even relate to it. Every day, we help countless people battle the confusion, frustration, and emotional pain that planning for retirement can bring. We work with thousands of people each year to reduce the emotional and financial pressures of retirement so that they can live the retirement of their dreams.

To help our clients achieve their goals, we take a holistic approach to retirement and ask them the tough questions to ensure that all aspects of their retirement are covered. Then we create a customized retirement plan based on their needs leveraging the math, science, and economics behind retirement planning. We do this to help our retirees minimize their taxes and help them achieve their retirement goals.
