About Christian E. Halas
I have owned Halas Consulting since 2006. Halas Consulting is a full service vertically integrated firm, that along with strategic partnerships and other miscellaneous associations is able to offer clients tax services including tax preparation, tax resolution, bookkeeping. I am also a licensed insurance agent in the Commonwealth of PA and write life, accident and health, and property & casualty insurance for both individuals and businesses. Finally, I also offer fee based investment advisory services, acting as a fiduciary adviser for individual, trust, and business accounts as well as retirement plans, via my Registered Investment Advisor Venn Wealth & Benefits LLC in Altoona, PA. (Venn Wealth & Benefits and Halas Consulting are not affiliated entities)
I strive to do well by doing good and work diligently to make sure all clients are serviced and responded to in a timely and courteous manner. Work ethic and integrity are still in fashion here.
