George Ernest Rambow III

I watched my family work incredibly hard their whole lives -- and I never wanted anyone else to reach the end of theirs wondering if they did enough with what they had. That's the reason I became a financial advisor. Not because I loved spreadsheets -- though I do -- but because money is the thing that funds the life you're trying to build, and most people deserve someone in their corner who actually treats it that way. I moved to the U.S. from India as a kid and started working at 13. Money was never theoretical in our house. It was decisions with real consequences, and I learned early that the difference between a good outcome and a bad one often came down to information, timing, and who you had helping you. I've spent 14+ years in financial services. Long enough to understand how the industry works -- and long enough to be frustrated by it. Clients getting sold products they didn't need. Advisors earning more when clients invested more, regardless of whether it made sense. Tax, investments, and estate planning treated like separate problems instead of one integrated picture. Singh PWM exists because I refused to operate that way. No commissions. No AUM fees on assets I don't manage. No incentive to recommend anything other than what's right for you. Just transparent flat fees and a clear scope of work -- so you always know what you're paying for and why. I hold two credentials that matter for the kind of work I do: CFP® since 2016 and Enrolled Agent since 2026. The CFP® covers the planning side. The EA means I'm federally authorized to represent clients before the IRS and work through tax strategy directly -- not hand it off to someone else. Together, they let me build retirement plans where tax decisions, investment structure, and income planning actually work together. My wife Stefania runs client services. We live in Phoenix with our son Luke and three dogs. This is a small firm by design -- because the kind of advice I give requires knowing you, not managing a book of 500 accounts. If you're serious about getting your financial life in order before retirement, I'd like to talk. CFP® Since 2016 | EA Since 2026

I started in the advice business in 2012 as an intern at First Allied Securities. Lucky for me, I got to see the inside of a lot of classic wealth management firms - how the sausage was made. Fast forward to 2016, I've worked a few years in the industry, but I'm not happy with my trajectory; I want to write my own story. A couple of industry guys create a platform called XY Planning Network, seemingly tailor-made for me & my dreams. I want to serve the next generation of clients in a fair & transparent way, and I'd like to do it on my own terms. XYPN's little push, their "Yes, you can do this" at the September 2016 conference in San Diego, was the catalyst for launching my firm, Montebello Avenue Limited Company, which went live in February 2017. Today, my firm serves 50+ clients locally & throughout the country. I couldn't be more proud of our clientele or more hopeful about the future of the firm.

I work with people who are within about five years of retirement, or already moving into it, in an ongoing advisory relationship that runs through the transition and past it. You've saved for decades and the balances are real. What changes as retirement gets closer is the questions: how much you can comfortably spend, when you can stop working, which accounts to draw from first, when to claim Social Security, and how to cover health insurance before Medicare. I'm a CPA and a CFP® professional, and I prepare my clients' tax returns myself. The plan and the filing come from the same desk, so a Roth conversion, a withdrawal order, or an equity sale gets modeled against the return it will land on before anyone acts on it. Based in Phoenix, Arizona, working with clients across the country. Fee-only, no commissions.

Hi, I’m Ekenna Anya-Gafu, CFP, AAMS, AIF and the founder of Pacific Canyon Investments. I started this firm because growing up, I saw too many people make the wrong financial decisions, not because they didn’t care, but because no one ever showed them how. I decided to change that. After years in the industry helping build a firm from $200K to over $483M in assets, I launched PCI to bring honest, strategic, and empowering financial guidance to people from all walks of life. Whether you’re managing an IPO, a new or experienced healthcare worker, or want a better plan, I’m here to help.
