About

Charley Edson founded Wealth Being Advisors with a simple yet powerful belief: true wealth isn’t just financial, it’s the alignment of your money, your health, and your purpose. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, Charley combines deep technical expertise with a human-first approach to help busy professionals gain clarity, confidence, and calm across all areas of their financial lives. Whether it’s building a strong investment strategy, creating financial freedom through automation, or improving day-to-day decision-making, Charley’s work centers around helping clients live intentionally—on their terms.

After nearly a decade in traditional wealth management, including managing over $250 million in client assets, Charley realized that most firms were missing the bigger picture. That insight led to the creation of Wealth Being Advisors: a firm that helps clients connect the dots between financial health, mental well-being, and physical vitality. With a coaching mindset and a passion for helping others grow, Charley partners with his clients to create personalized plans that align their values with their goals.

Outside the office, you’ll find Charley playing hockey, spiking volleyballs on the beach, or enjoying the Southern California sun with his fiancée, Daniela. He’s deeply committed to his own growth whether through strength training, guitar, or mindfulness practices, which reflect his belief that lasting wealth is about more than numbers. It’s about showing up fully in life. At Wealth Being Advisors, that’s exactly what he helps his clients do.
