About Us

I joined McClintock Advisory Services, Inc. in August 2023 as an assistant to Heather. I was excited and eager to learn as much as I could about the financial planning business and the wonderful clients we serve.

I graduated from Iona University in May 2023 with a BA in Psychology and a minor in Political Science. Growing up in Floral Park alongside Heather’s family, I stay very active in the community and church. I have a great love for travel and adventure, and I spend my free time exploring as many places as I possibly can!

I joined McClintock Advisory Services, Inc. in August 2023 as the part-time Office Manager. I am the "welcoming" committee for all visitors and phone calls, ensuring the office runs like a well-oiled machine.

Before joining McClintock Advisory Services, I was a partner in an accounting firm located in NYC’s theater district for 45 years until my partner and I sold the business in December 2019.

My husband and I have lived in Floral Park for 50 years, having bought our home when we got married. We raised our daughter and son here and we are also proud grandparents to a wonderful granddaughter.

Living just around the corner from Heather, one day in July 2023, we were getting our nails done when I mentioned how tired I was of being home and retired. Heather asked if I wanted to join her team as she moved forward with McClintock Advisory Services and the rest, as they say, is history.

The only constant in life is change. As I tell my two college-age children, life is not a straight line - it’s more like a series of zigzags. How can one prepare for this constant change; these zigzags in life?  Well, it would be good to start with a plan, especially a financial plan.  Doing so will help you navigate the curveballs life throws your way.  It might entail crafting plans A, B, and C to get through it, but this is by far better than the alternative - no plan!  

As I write this while looking back on my life, each time I was sure of my plan, life stepped in and showed me a slightly different direction. For example, when I went to law school, my plan was to be a litigator.  Then I had the chance to work in a litigation law firm where I learned that the lifestyle of a litigator was not a good fit for me.  So I changed my plan to focus on business law.  I landed my dream job doing international business law.  And then I became a mother.  I decided to take a few years off to raise my small children with a plan to return to the law. Then a dear family member asked me to assist him with his financial planning practice.  I am so glad I said YES! Thirteen years later, I am enjoying advising our clients on their financial journey. For me, the fact that I always had a financial plan in place allowed me to pivot along my life’s journey. I would be very happy to help you create your own financial plan to guide you along your journey.    

I began my career in financial services in 2011 working with my cousin, Tommy Blair. In July 2024, I took on a leadership role when Tommy transitioned into semi-retirement. Prior to working in the financial services world, I had a career as a lawyer in corporate finance. I earned a Bachelor of Arts Cum Laude from St. John’s University in 1993, followed by a Juris Doctor Cum Laude from Brooklyn Law School in 1997, and a Masters of Law in Transnational Business Practice from McGeorge School of Law in 1998. Additionally, I am licensed with FINRA Series 7, 66, and hold Life & Health Insurance licenses.

I have lived in Floral Park, NY, for 22 years with my husband, Brian, and our two children, Finbar and Marygrace. I enjoy giving back to my community through volunteer work.  I am a member of the Floral Park Chamber of Commerce and the Floral Park Belmont Park Task Force.  I am also a member of the Parish Council of my church, Our Lady of Victory. I truly enjoy being involved with teaching a course at Molloy University in Finance and Budgeting to young adults with developmental disabilities.  All of these endeavors allow me to share my experience with my community.

I have been a Certified Financial Planner since 1984 and am a Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU). Before creating The Blair Group, Inc. in 1991, I worked with my father, Harry F. Blair, Jr., in our family's funeral business, Harry F. Blair, Sons. This Brooklyn-based business was started by my grandfather in 1900. During my tenure in this business, I first became aware of the financial devastation that can befall families, particularly widows, who had not proactively planned for life without the family breadwinner.

After graduating from CUNY-Baruch College in 1973 with a BBA in Finance, I continued to pursue my two avocations, thanatology and finance. I supported bereaved family members both emotionally and through financial services until I decided to make a career change in 1984, when I joined Fundamental Brokers, Inc. I sold the family business in 1988, left the brokerage business in 1990, and began work as a Certified Financial Planner, opening The Blair Group, Inc. in 1991.  I am now semi-retired and happy to continue to travel the world while I still can; as well as to continue to be an advisor to all of our clients.

I have been married for 51 years. My wife, Margaret Ann, retired after 50 years in education. I have two grown sons who have both entered the financial field. Thomas is a Managing Director for Merrill Lynch Commodities, and Timothy is a Managing Director in Debt Capital Markets for Mizuho. My daughter-in-law, Natasha, is a stay-at-home mom taking care of two wonderful children, Lachlan and Sawyer. My other daughter-in-law, Nathalie, is a stay-at-home mom taking care of two beautiful children, a daughter, Camille and a son, Charlie. I have lived and raised my family in Garden City for over forty-two years, where I was an active member of my parish, St. Joseph's. I currently devote time to activities at Chaminade High School.
