Stanley F. Ehrlich

Stanley F. Ehrlich founded S.F. Ehrlich Associates in 1996 with a focus on providing independent, fee-only financial planning and investment advice and developing long-term relationships with clients.

Before founding the firm, Stan spent many years in education. He taught for 11 years at Raritan Valley Community College and also served as an adjunct professor at The College of New Jersey. He has written extensively about personal finance, including work as a contributing editor and columnist for several business publications and as a longtime columnist for NAPFA Advisor.

Stan earned his undergraduate degree in economics from Syracuse University, a Master of Arts from John Jay College, and a Master of Public Administration from New York University, where he also completed doctoral coursework in finance.

Since founding S.F. Ehrlich Associates, Stan has believed that good financial advice begins with a personal relationship. Understanding a client’s goals, concerns, and temperament has always been central to his approach to financial planning and investing.

Stan lives in Westfield with his wife, Pearl. They have three daughters and six grandchildren.
