Ellen S. Rogin
Ellen S. Rogin, a Certified Public Accountant and Certified Financial Planner, is Founder and President of Strategic Financial Designs, Inc., a Northfield, Illinois-based registered investment advisor and an independent financial advisory firm established
She is also President of Rogin, Fox and Theodore, Inc., an advisory firm providing financial and tax planning strategies for individuals going through the process of divorce.
Rogin is affiliated with the EDSA Group, a national network of financial advisors providing financial education programs to corporations and associations. She is a Registered Principal with FSC Securities Corporation, which is a registered broker-dealer and a member of NASD and SIPC.
A former public accountant, Rogin's interest in helping people take charge of their financial futures led her to the more proactive arena of financial planning. An important segment of her clientele comprises single or newly-single individuals who regard her as a valued partner in their future decision-making processes.
In her more than 15 years in the financial profession, Rogin has established a reputation as a nationally known expert in the field of personal financial planning, and as a sought-after speaker and columnist. A seasoned financial advisor as well as a lively author and presenter, she is driven by a mission to educate her readers and audiences on wise financial practices and the options available to them in achieving their financial goals.
Rogin's monthly column on money management issues for women, carried by The Pioneer Press, appears in all 48 of its suburban Chicago newspapers, and her writings have also been published in the Chicago Tribune. Often called upon to offer expert financial advice, she has been quoted in a wide range of national and local publications including Money magazine, Business Week, Working Woman, Chicago Lawyer, Ladies Home Journal, Working Mother, Winning Strategies, and Mademoiselle.
Rogin is a frequent speaker before corporate and organizational audiences -- from CF Industries and the Women's Bar Association to the Chicago Finance Exchange, the National Association of Women Business Owners, Women in Finance and the Network of Women Entrepreneurs -- on issues of maximizing personal wealth. In addition, she was recently featured in a broadcast television news segment on Women and Divorce airing on Chicago's ABC affiliate.
Rogin's professional and community involvement reflects her desire to educate people and show them the tools for self-reliance. She served as Technical Editor for Cliff Notes for the First Time Investor, and participated in a Calvert Mutual Funds advisory board charged with developing an educational program on women and money. She served as program chair for the Chicago Area Chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners, and is a past president of the Network of Women Entrepreneurs. A former board member of the Chicago North Shore Chapter of the International Association for Financial Planning, she currently serves on the board of The Lilac Tree, a nonprofit organization serving women who are in the process of divorce.
Before becoming a financial planner and an entrepreneur, Rogin was part of the Entrepreneurial Services Group at Arthur Young & Company (now Ernst & Young), and later was a Vice President with TIS Financial Services. She is a Phi Beta Kappa Graduate of Newcomb College at Tulane University with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics, and holds an MBA in Accounting from New York University.
