About Avea
Avea Financial Planning is different from most financial advisory firms. That’s because we do fee-only planning. We don’t sell products or earn commissions. Instead, we charge a flat fee in exchange for advice from a CFP®.
Refreshingly simple.
We are big fans of the F word.
Fiduciary... a fiduciary has a duty of utmost good faith to act solely in the best interests of each client
Fee-Only... compensation solely from the fees clients pay for services
Flat Fee... a fee not based on assets
Focused on Taxes... decisions based on making your life better but with an eye for taxes too
Experienced... while not an F word, with over 16 years in financial services and a team of experts in their fields, we come with the experience you demand and deserve
Our firm has formed strategic alliances for services that are included in the work we do for our clients.

Avea Financial PlanningLead planner with over 16 years in financial services, 11 as a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™.
When I think of all the things I want out of life, it really is a very short list. I want to have a sense of gratitude and purpose, and surround myself with people I have a deep connection to, both in my personal and professional life.
Financial stuff can be very numbers focused, but I think the real value comes from deeply understanding people...
