I’m Zeke Anders, and I founded Planalto Financial to offer a higher level of planning. I’ve always been passionate about investing and personal finance, and I eventually left corporate America to become a financial planner. I am a CFP professional with over five years of formal experience, but I’m an avid learner and student of market history and current research. My goal is to provide evidence-based, objective advice to help clients find fulfillment through their wealth. Financial planning is often about more than just math, it is about utilizing the assets you spent a career accumulating to create meaning and purpose in retirement. Planalto Financial is open to all, but my specialty is working with Brazilian-American families. While I am from Alabama, my wife is from Brazil originally, and we currently live in Brasilia, Brazil with our two daughters. We understand that cross-border families have specific opportunities and challenges such as owning assets in multiple countries, additional tax and reporting requirements, and higher travel and family support budgets. If this sounds like you, Planalto Financial is here to help. Pode contar comigo. Planalto offers flat-fee hourly, planning-only, or comprehensive planning and investment management services. I chose flat-fee services to provide transparency and simplify, whereas assets-under-management fees can be complicated (is it beginning, end, or the average asset values? In advance or in arrears?). In addition, I do not receive commissions for any product sales.
