VP, Gardner Brown Associates
I have been a licensed insurance Broker for 17 years. I have been a Medicare Advocate for 10 years. Medicare Advocacy requires an in-depth knowledge of Social Security benefits and how choices made can effect Medicare. It has been my experience when working with clients, their lack of understanding of cost or penalties based on Social Security benefit choices having a direct impact on their monthly retirement benefits.
Yvonne Mathews has earned the National Social Security Advisor program, demonstrating advanced expertise in Social Security claiming strategies.
My desire to provide correct information regarding Social Security and the benefits one is entitled to led me to become Certified with the National Social Security Advisors (NSSA), the first organization to offer knowledge, continuing education on the subject of Social Security.
My firm also offers retirement planning for Small Businesses as well as individual high net-worth clients . A complete and thorough understanding of Social Security is the foundation in building a complete planning strategy of one’s retirement.
An NSSA® Certified Advisor provides the knowledge and expertise needed to maximize your Social Security benefits and help you achieve a secure retirement.

Navigating Social Security rules can be complex, and even small mistakes can cost you thousands of dollars in lost benefits. An NSSA® Certified Advisor ensures you make informed decisions and avoid costly errors.

An NSSA® Advisor integrates your Social Security strategy with your overall retirement plan, ensuring your assets work together to meet your financial goals and a clearer path to a secure future.

The Social Security office provides information but doesn’t offer personalized advice or strategies. An NSSA® Certified Advisor delivers tailored solutions based on your unique circumstances and goals.
