Q: Will Congress resolve the limbo over the estate tax, which went away this year but is scheduled to come back next year on estates worth $1 million and up?
A: Everybody was convinced last year that congress would act and wouldn’t let the estate tax expire and give everybody who died in 2010 a free ride. There is a fair amount of uncertainty. Once school of thought says they will reintroduce it with the $3.5 million exemption that was there last year.

Eileen Sharkey, CFP® Honored as an Outstanding Business Woman by the Denver Business Journal

August 28, 2009 (DENVER,CO) Eileen Sharkey, CFP® won the Outstanding Women in Business Award in the Professional category presented by The Denver Business Journal at the 11th Annual Outstanding Women in Business awards luncheon held August 27, 2009.

Sharkey was among eleven women honored for their accomplishments in various categories including the professional category that Sharkey won. Nominees for the Outstanding Women in Business awards were judged on innovation, entrepreneurship, professional accomplishments and community leadership.

Sharkey, began her career in 1976 designing pension and profit sharing plans for businesses. She quickly realized that she preferred working with individuals and small businesses and in 1978 became a Certified Financial Planner (CFP). Upon opening her financial planning firm, she pioneered the fee-only model which was unique within an industry known for selling investment products, rather than providing long term financial planning advice.

In 1990 she formed Sharkey, Howes & Javer with partners Larry Howes, CFP® and Joel Javer, CFP® so that she could best serve the growing clientele that was depending on her for life long financial planning. The firm now has a staff of 14 people including eight Certified Financial PlannerTM professionals that serve over 1,000 clients.

"I've known Eileen Sharkey since she offered to chair a committee that I was working with over 25 years ago. She deserves to be recognized as an outstanding business woman," said Marv Tuttle, executive director of the Denver based Financial Planning Association. "Eileen is one of the sages in the financial planning profession. She can be depended on for fresh insights, strategic thinking and action and through her dedication to her profession and community she has built one of the finest financial planning practices in Colorado and the nation."

Sharkey's commitment to community service and financial education is evident in her work with many advisory boards including the Metropolitan State College of Denver, the College for Financial Planning, the Denver Ballet Guild Endowment Fund and high school students. "Understanding how money works is a survival skill," said Sharkey. "It is possible to get a Ph.D. in anything you want and still not have a sensible idea on how to manage money. The more education and information the general public has, the more intelligently they can pick an adviser, work with them and understand how to make money decisions."

Sharkey has been quoted as a planning and investments expert in several publications including The Wall Street Journal, USA TODAY, The New York Times, Money magazine, Good Housekeeping, Self and Worth. She was profiled by Worth as one of the Top 60 Financial Advisors in the U.S. in Oct., 2008.

 Sharkey, originally from England, lives in Evergreen with her husband James.

Eileen M. Sharkey Listed in Denver Business Journal’s List of Colorado’s 2007 Top 20 Independent Wealth Advisors

December 21, 2007 (DENVER, CO) – Eileen M. Sharkey, Principal, Sharkey, Howes & Javer, was recognized in the Denver Business Journal’s 2007 list of Colorado’s Top 20 Independent Wealth Advisors.

Sharkey, who earned her Bachelor’s degree in history and economics from the University of London in 1968, has been practicing financial planning in Denver, Colorado since 1978. She opened the firm Sharkey, Howes & Javer, Denver, in 1990 with partners Lawrence E. Howes and Joel B. Javer.

The Denver Business Journal (DBJ) asked Sharkey and other Wealth Advisors questions to familiarize readers with the advisors listed in the 2007 Colorado Top 20 Independent Wealth Advisors, published in the December 21 issue of the Denver Business Journal.

  • DBJ: Where’s a good place to put your money in 2008?
  • Sharkey: It completely depends on the client and his/her circumstances.
  • DBJ: What piece of advice do you find yourself giving clients most often?
  • Sharkey: A portfolio that matches your personal goals, not trying to beat some index.

Wealth advising, according to Eileen Sharkey, is comparable to a person in good health, in that if a client is not constantly thinking about it, then the adviser must be doing a good job.

Sharkey carries this philosophy over to her firm Sharkey, Howes & Javer, located at 720 S. Colorado Blvd., Denver, CO 80246, which has about 1,000 clients and $475 million dollars under management. “We really try to treat each client like they are the only one that we have, and that is why we are successful in what we do,” Sharkey said.

Sharkey, originally from England, lives in Evergreen with her husband James.
