Meet Harry
Harry Moran is a 30-plus year veteran of the financial advisory profession. After beginning his career as Regional Coordinator for an Albany NY-based mutual fund company, Harry joined Advantage Capital Corp. in 1988. In 1992, he affiliated with Cornerstone Financial Advisors and Cadaret, Grant and Co., Inc. where he worked for 19 years before leaving to found Sustainable Wealth Advisors in September of 2011. He began working with sustainable investments in 1988 and made the commitment to specialize in this approach in 2001. He has been a network advisor with First Affirmative Financial Network since 2001 and was an Investment Advisory Representative (IAR) of Portfolio Resources Advisor Group, Inc. (PRAG) from 2011 until April 2021. Harry also served on the PRAG Investment Committee from 2018 until his departure in April 2021 to become a Founding Member of Sustainable Advisors Alliance, LLC.
Harry’s sustainable, responsible, and impact-driven approach to financial planning and investment management comes from a deep belief that people and the planet are as important as profits. His core value of respect for the inherent worth and dignity of all people enables him to make a significant impact in the lives of his clients, especially those who might otherwise be too busy to fully focus on their finances, or who feel they might have to compromise their values to achieve financial security.
Harry resides in Saratoga Springs, NY with his wife Ellen. When not at work, you can find him out riding his bike, walking, or supporting the reopening local art and music scene.
