Since 1993

Sean Woodrow, Founder/CEO

Sean started in the securities business in 1993 and has been a licensed financial professional ever since. He is Founder/CEO of Prime Income Advisors in Spring Lake, New Jersey, and serves clients in the New York tri-state area, as well as other parts of the U.S. He has been a Registered Investment Advisor and held securities licenses in Series 24, Series 63, Series 65 and Series 7.

Sean’s whole focus is on income planning. He believes that retirement planning must include income streams and tax mitigation strategies that allow people to determine exactly what their income will be month to month in their retirement. This allows his clients to enjoy the peace of mind that comes with never having to guess what money they will have for their retirement.

“In retirement, it’s your income, not your wealth, that creates your standard of living and determines the quality of your retirement,” said Sean. “I pride myself in holding a minimum of semi-annual reviews so that my clients always know where they are financially. But I also have always had an open-door policy with my clients. Many of them will just pop into the office to say hi and visit for a bit. That’s the kind of business I like to run. My door’s always open.”

Sean has a simple approach: 1. A free initial Q & A consultation session is available to anyone; A second session can often include strategies and recommendations; A third session allows for any desired implementation of strategies and a review of the monitoring process for those strategies.

“I always tell people that it’s their money and they ultimately will decide what do with it. My passion comes in showing them all the options available to them and in recommending which of those might work best for their particular financial circumstances,” said Sean. “My process is absolutely no pressure—I want it to be as open and comfortable for people as possible.”

Away from work, Sean’s two daughters are, as he says, the “center of my center.” Lily is 24 and works in the New York City fashion industry. He loves spending a day in the city with her, where they can sometimes catch a Yankees game together. Lucy, 21, still resides in New Jersey and is attending school with a focus on fine art. Sean loves to visit local art galleries with her.

Sean’s zest for life has enabled him to be an endurance athlete his whole life. He is an ultra-runner who often participates in 50-mile runs, and he competes annually in multiple endurance biking and running events across the country. Since 2011, he has been the director of a Catholic youth cross country running league, where he enjoys coaching and supporting young endurance athletes. Sean resides in Spring Lake, New Jersey.
