What our Clients Say
I hired Forward Focus[ed] to assist us in registering my son for his first year of college. It had been awhile since I attended college and, yes, a lot had changed. Hiring them was the best decision I made for my son and myself; as their guidance, direction, and support throughout the process made it easy to register him and keep him moving forward...
-Susan Figg
We relied on Forward Focused to help guide our son (and us parents) through the university/college process. As parents we really appreciate the detailed knowledge and guidance that Susan provides in all college related topics. Without her insight we would have definitely struggled. We highly recommend Forward Focused.
-Amer Malik
Forward Focused advising is very helpful and will help you get on track and headed in the right direction. If you need any assistance with getting organized or planning your college/career path, I highly recommend Forward Focused LLC.
