Brian J. Allsop of North Easton, Vice President of B.O.C. Financial Services and Investment Executive with Infinex Investments Inc., has been recognized by Five Star Professional as a 2013 Five Star Wealth Manager for the second consecutive year.  He has been featured in a special section of the February issue of Boston Magazine.

Allsop specializes in pre- and post-retirement planning for small business owners, successful professionals and retired individuals at B.O.C. Financial Services, the financial services arm of Bank of Canton.  

“Our clients’ number one concern is making sure that their money lasts throughout their life, while continuing to generate the income they need to live comfortably,” Allsop said.  “People need to plan for a longer period of time now, but many are not planning at all because they don’t have an investment strategy.

“I am honored to receive the Five Star Professional award for the second year in a row.  More important, it is rewarding to have the opportunity to build a financial advisory practice at a local bank that gives back to the communities it serves and treats its customers like family,” Allsop said.
