Sandra Faith Hall
President / Sr. Financial Advisor/ Chief Compliance Officer
Registered
Sandy is the founder of Faith Financial Advisors, Inc., a Registered Investment Advisor. A business that started in 1992 with the words “Integrity over Security” written on the back of a business card and taped over her desk. A business that was started because as a single mom she wanted to have a flexible schedule. One day standing in her kitchen and thinking about leaving a salaried position she looked around and asked herself “what do I have to lose?” The answer was everything, but she believed in herself enough to take the risk and the perseverance to know that if she fell, she would pick herself back up and move forward.
Over 30 years later she can’t imagine doing anything else. “I have an amazing career where I get to go to work every day and help clients make their lives a little bit better by helping them to plan for the expected and to be prepared for the unexpected.”
Sandy knows about the unexpected firsthand. Her husband, Carl, left this earth in November of 2022 after a six-month battle with ALS. “When you lose a spouse or partner it turns your life upside down.”
At FFA we believe the growth of the business is directly tied to placing our clients’ needs first. Year after year this has proved to be true! Because of Sandy’s convictions FFA doesn’t have minimums and we do not monetize our clients. Sandy will tell you she has a deal with God that she will serve those He sends as best as she can.
Another important belief we want to pass on is generosity. At Faith Financial we want our clients to “Live Life Generously!” As a firm we model this by donating more than 15% of our gross revenue to non-profits each year. Some of these can be found on our website’s “Organizations We Support” page as well as on our social media pages each Thursday. We call this Philanthropic Thursday as we highlight a non-profit we support with a link to their page.
Sandy is blessed to serve multiple generations of families, providing them with investment management, retirement income planning, financial planning, estate planning, charitable gift planning as well as assisting with generational transfer of assets.
Her credentials include having attained the Life Underwriter Training Council Fellow (LUTCF) and Certified Kingdom Advisor® (CKA) certifications as well as having completed Dave Ramsey’s Certified Counselor Training. She served as a member of AssetMark’s Field Advisory Board 2019-2021 and on the board of a local non-profit 2020-2021. She is waiting to see what doors God opens next.
Sandy was born and raised in Cincinnati and a proud graduate of Deer Park High School and the University of Cincinnati. She is very active volunteering in the community, believing strongly in giving back, not only of her time but also of her resources. She has been an active member of the Rotary Club of Northeast Cincinnati since 2003. She has been recognized as a Paul Harris Fellow multiple times and is a Rotary Foundation Benefactor.
Interests: “When I am not at the office you will probably find me with my grandchildren (two of which live with me) and our Australian Shepherd Stella. I had been blessed to spend a great deal of time with my husband, Carl, and our grandchildren, both at our home locally and in Tennessee on our houseboat that we keep on Norris Lake. This had been our summer weekend destination. Boating, swimming, fishing...enjoying the amazing views, making memories! I am so grateful we did all we did because we had no idea what little time we had left together.”
