Meet Our Team
Donna Buchanan
Founder/ Financial Advisor
Donna founded Investment Watch in 1999 and holds FINRA Series 7, 63, and 65 securities licenses along with life, health and annuity insurance licenses. Equal to her passion for her clients is Donna’s passion for her three daughters – Lexi, Savannah, and Kristina. Balancing work and family has given Donna firsthand experience in the challenges of modern parenthood.
With the family grown, Donna’s primary focus now is serving her clients and supporting her team members – she is fortunate to work alongside such a talented team at Investment Watch.
Donna earned a bachelor’s degree from Washington College and a master’s degree from Loyola University. She continually seeks new education opportunities, and is pending a cumulative exam with the College for Financial Planning to earn the Certified Financial Planner™ professional certification.
Bonnie Hill, CPA, AIF®, CFP®
Financial Advisor
Bonnie is a financial advisor and based in our Connecticut office. She has always enjoyed being a “number cruncher” and solving puzzles. She combined this skillset with her passion for helping people to become a successful CPA managing her own practice.
When clients would come in for tax preparation, they would bring financial documents for Bonnie to review. She found they were often making costly decisions because they didn’t understand all the options available. They weren’t aware of the instruments and strategies available to them, nor the tax consequences of their choices. No one was looking out for her clients’ best interests.
Recognizing that need, Bonnie transitioned to offer financial planning services and found it was her true calling. She is a Certified Financial Planner™ professional, Accredited Investment Fiduciary, and holds FINRA Series 7 and 66 licenses.
Joselyn Cossentino
Office Manager
Joselyn is our office manager and holds the Wealth Management SpecialistSM designation. However, her title does not accurately reflect all she does for Investment Watch. Joselyn handles our bookkeeping, accounts payable, and coordinates all our client events. She is the epitome of a team player and most often the friendly voice our clients and prospective clients hear when they call the office.
Joselyn is licensed to offer life and health insurance, and is pursuing her securities licenses to further expand her role on the team.
Outside of Investment Watch Joselyn enjoys relaxing with her husband Angelo and their three amazing children Natalie, AJ, and Ethan.
