DCS Financial Group is a full service, independent, financial services company located in Woburn, Massachusetts. DCS Financial Group was founded in 2006 by David C. Smith, a veteran financial services professional who had grown tired of many of the corporate policies and practices in place at larger Wall Street firms. Since that time, we have established ourselves as one of the premier, local, independent options for clients and businesses seeking advice outside of the big banks and brokerages. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity and professionalism in our relationship with you, our client. We endeavor to know and understand your financial situation and provide you with only the highest quality information, services, and products to help you reach your goals. As an independent advisor, we are free of the proprietary pressures many advisors face when making recommendations.
