Background

About Michael Battista

Since my first exposure to macroeconomics during my freshman year of college, I have had a passion for economics and finance. After a course-load of financial analytics classes during my study abroad time in London, I realized I needed to focus this passion in a people-centric area. After earning degrees in Economics and Finance from Edgewood College in Madison, WI, I began my career with the DC Branch of AXA Advisors in May of 2012.While working in an advising and leadership capacity with AXA Advisors since 2012, I have learned first-hand how important client engagement and coordination are in the financial planning process. An effective planning process doesn’t stop, and through my attention to detail and results-driven background, I strive to help our clients by Enhancing Financial Decision Making℠. Having played golf collegiately, I understand the discipline and direction needed to reach ones goals; whatever they may be.As the Planning Coordinator at Ascend Planning and Consulting, LLC, my goal is to make every client and prospect engagement effective, efficient, and most importantly, enjoyable.
