Chris Weston

I've spent nearly 15 years working with women, families, and small business owners who know there's something more they could be doing with their money—they just need help figuring out what that is. ‍ Think of me as your Personal CFO—someone who oversees your entire financial life so you can focus on living it. I’m uniquely qualified as a Certified Divorce Financial Advisor, mediator, businesswomen and mom. I understand complex family dynamics, the impact money can have on relationships. Whether you’re in a phase of life that’s good, bad or ugly, I know the importance of having a trusted confidant when navigating uncharted waters. ‍ Here's what I love: watching clients move from feeling overwhelmed to having a clear path forward. Seeing them ask deeper questions as we work together. Helping them pay less in taxes, efficiently fund their dreams, and leave a legacy that matters. Those outcomes don't happen by accident—they happen when we take the time to understand what really matters to you. ‍ I've played viola most of my life, and music taught me how to listen—really listen—and how every detail matters when you're building something meaningful. I bring that same attention and care to financial planning. Every client is different. Every situation deserves thought and intention. ‍ When I'm not working with clients, I'm performing with Des Moines ensembles, raising three boys with my husband Kyle in Urbandale.
