Mr. Goodson was an early adopter of financial planning. He is a Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC©), Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU©) and Chartered Advisor for Senior Living (CASL©) and holds FINRA Series 6, 7, 22, 24, 26 and 63 securities licenses.

He is dedicated to establishing a corporate culture at AmeriFlex® that emphasizes community outreach and sustainable philanthropy to help those who are less fortunate.
Tom takes pleasure in getting to know each client in order to learn about their personal lives and the goals they wish to achieve. He says, “I grew up on Navy bases on the East Coast and very early on I learned to adapt to my surroundings and read people – a skill that is useful in the wealth management profession. It’s fascinating to listen to everyone’s story because each one is unique. I appreciate my clients’ candor and intelligence; I hold them in high esteem. The thing that gives me the most satisfaction, is helping people succeed and grow. This also applies to working with my colleagues. I enjoy recognizing and developing the talent of our Wealth Managers and administrative staff at AmeriFlex®. This is a company where everyone can reach their full potential.”

Hannah Buschbom CFP®, CDFA® – Director of Client Experience and Connected Strategies
Hannah can be reached at:

Direct Line: 805-770-1356
Hannah Buschbom CFP®, CDFA™, CFF® is a Wealth Advisor at The AmeriFlex Group. She has over a decade of experience working in the financial services industry. Her specialty is working with people, especially women, during a significant life transition, such as retirement, sale of a business or real estate, change in marital status, or loss of a loved one.
She enjoys engaging clients cooperatively, to develop creative solutions to their often-complex scenarios together. This method, she says, leads to their preferred outcome– “My ultimate goal is to enable clients to be better educated, and in turn to make confident and informed decisions.”
In her search for connections to educate and serve her clients better, Hannah noticed a lack of a centralized way for women to establish and strengthen powerful relationships with other women business leaders in their communities. By Co-Founding The W Source, she helps female professionals tackle this challenge by providing a way for them to connect, engage, and grow their professional networks.
Hannah holds the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®) certification – the gold standard for financial planning in the financial services industry. Also, Hannah noticed early on in her career that those grappling with the complexities of divorce settlements could benefit from the help of a specialized, trusted advisor. Wanting to fill this void, she pursued and obtained her Certified Divorce Financial Analyst Designation®. Finally, wanting to provide the highest standard of care for clients, she holds the Certified Financial Fiduciary (CFF®) designation.
As a featured speaker, Hannah frequently shares her expertise with other female professionals. She has contributed to Barron’s Magazine, Financial Advisor magazine, Investment News, Financial Planning Magazine, and Wealth Management.com.
In 2019, Hannah was named “Grassroots Champion of the Year”* by Financial Services Institute (FSI). FSI advocates for a more business-friendly regulatory environment for independent financial services firms and independent financial advisors in Washington D.C. The award is given at the discretion of FSI.
