    We cannot say enough great things about EFA, especially Kevin and Lauren. This was our first experience with the college search and they made it painless. From finances to deadlines and everything in between, they walked us through it all. They … More were available to answer any and every question we had ... and assisted our daughter through the resume and essay writing process. They really got to know our family, and found us the perfect school for our daughter and assisted us in making it affordable.

    We have been working with Kevin Murphy and his team at Ecliptic for over 2 years now and they have exceeded our expectations. They walked us through every step of the process from choosing the right college to financial planning and everything … More in between.
    When it came to the daunting task of filling & filing the FAFSA forms, they took care of everything and made sure everything was handed in on time. They helped minimize our stress and helped us to navigate the little nuances that made all the difference. More importantly though, they made it possible for both my boys to get the best financial package possible and get into their #1 pick for college which we could never have afforded without the scholarships they received.
    Lauren was phenomenal. She consulted with the boys about both their personal essays as well as their high school resumes and I believe that made all the difference when potential schools reviewed their application. She taught them how to “tell a story” and how to highlight their accomplishments in a way that would make them an asset to any school they wish to attend. Her advice & help was invaluable. Can’t thank her enough.
    Kevin Murphy, I don’t even know where to begin. He has been a true lifesaver. I don’t know what I would have done without him throughout this process. He was there every step of the way and spent countless hours advising us. He is so incredibly knowledgeable on every aspect of the college planning process and it is clear that he loves what he does . He takes a personal interest in doing right by all the families he helps. He is professional ,patient , attentive , responsive ,and truly cares about his clients. He was not afraid to be honest and share his opinions with us based on his professional judgement even when it was difficult. He is extremely gifted at what he does .We consider Kevin a part of the family now. That is the highest complement I could give.
    I highly recommend Ecliptic financial advisors . It was worth every penny we spent . You will not find better people to help with your educational needs.

    Through my daughter's high school, I opted to listen to a Zoom presentation - and it was the best decision for college planning! The whole process was extremely easy. From the first consultation to filing the loans for the 1st college bill, … More everyone, particularly Mr. Murphy, was extremely helpful. I never had to worry about filing any paperwork or financial aide. When it came time, I knew it would be done! Then when we needed to appeal the offers, Mr. Murphy talked us through everything.

    I learned of Ecliptic when I signed up for a college planning workshop in the beginning of my son’s junior year in high school. Honestly, I had not saved any money for college & was in a panic. However, I did not plan to use a financial … More planning service, as I thought only the wealthy used financial planners. I hesitantly signed up for the individual session after the workshop & was very fortunate to meet with Kevin Murphy.
    With Kevin’s assistance I was able to not only set aside money for college, but for retirement as well. The Ecliptic team also assisted us in college applications and financial aid forms. They made sure everything went in correctly and on time & met with us multiple times throughout the process.
    My son was accepted to the college he had his heart set on going to & I am able to pay for it without taking out huge loans. I honestly don’t think this would be the case without Kevin’s help. I am thoroughly grateful to Kevin for his patience, attentiveness & knowledge. I strongly recommend Ecliptic Financial Advisors to everyone, especially working class people who never considered that a financial planning service could help them.

He helped us navigate and create the optimal financial college plan for both of our children. He answers every question quickly, he is funny, personable and very easy to talk to. Ecliptic made the daunting college planning process easy and stress-free. We were so impressed with the college planning that we decided to use John to help us with retirement planning. He is extremely knowledgable and has been very helpful. Overall, working with Ecliptic Financial Advisors has been a great experience.

    Applying for college last year was a challenging experience. Once 2020 came, I was faced with a lot of anxiety. Having to apply for college while in quarantine felt almost impossible. I am now a freshman in college and thanks to Ecliptic Financial … More Advisors, specifically Kevin Murphy, I was able to get the financial aid and support I needed in order to get into school. Kevin was patient but also persistent in making sure I submitted all of my paper work. I am so grateful that I received help from them. As a first generation student, I am able to say that I feel empowered to finally be in college. I feel a lot more financially literate and aware of the steps I need to take as I continue financing college.
