Courtney Ann Kucish

I’m a Certified Financial Planner and the founder of Blackwater Financial. I’ve spent a decade working in wealth management and creating financial plans. I’ve worked in firms big and small, and with clients from every walk of life. I’ve served engineers, physicians, graphic designers, attorneys, teachers, college professors, tech workers, blue collar workers and many, many more. I’ve held the titles of Financial Advisor, Team Leader, and Director of Financial Planning. Most importantly, I love what I do and genuinely enjoy coming to work everyday. During the first decade of my career, I became very disenchanted with the way most advisors serve clients who are still in the wealth accumulation stage of life. I created Blackwater Financial to fix this problem.
