Once she graduated, she decided to go a different direction and met Cynthia in 2018. Alicia came on board in 2019 and fell in love with accounting and Fiduciary work and felt there was an immense need to not only assist the aging population but to also educate the younger generation. She obtained her Fiduciary license in 2022 and is starting her path to strengthening her accounting/finance education.

Marion Hamilton
Services Coordinator
I have worked with Cynthia since she opened her office in Manhattan Beach in 2012. After living in the South Bay for 25+ years, my youngest of three children left for college and an empty nest loomed large. I decided to go back to work and revive the accounting career I had before children. In addition, I also had my 90 year old mother move into our home so I could provide her with more care and support.
The situations and challenges I witnessed daily while working with senior clients and their families at Bridge Senior Financial Services soon became my experience at home. Luckily I was working with an expert who helped me manage and navigate all that came my way when mom moved in. I find my knowledge and skill set in these areas has grown over the years which allows me to assist others “Bridge” this life situation with confidence. Providing relief to many from the stressful decisions that occur when trying to care for family members is something I truly enjoy. Helping and serving our senior clients and their families is tremendously rewarding.
Donna Kleinman
Administrative Coordinator
Donna compliments our team by sharing over 35 years of business experience with large national and international corporations where she was instrumental in strategic revenue growth and product development for retail and specialty store chains. In the last 10 years of her corporate career as Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Donna found herself in the position of supporting and caring for her aging mother. Her firsthand experience and knowledge of what it means to be part of the “sandwich” generation – caring for her aging parent while raising her own family and continuing to succeed in her career not only led her to appreciate the services we offer here at Bridge Senior Financial Services but provided the right foundation for her to assist others who find themselves in a similar position. Donna considers herself lucky to call Redondo Beach her home and blessed to say her mother is 92 years young!
