Chatterton & Associates

Before we ever talk about financial planning, my team and I want to genuinely understand and deeply care about your life. Not just your accounts, taxes, or investments, but what those things are meant to protect. Your family.
 Your business.
 Your future.
 Your peace of mind.
 The people who depend on you. Our most important responsibility as a team is to listen, understand what matters most, and deeply care about your situation, because it truly matters. Once we fully understand what you are carrying, what you are trying to protect, and what you want your money to make possible, we then help turn that understanding into a clear plan. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® at Chatterton & Associates, my goal is simple, to give business owners and retirees a clear plan that keeps you one step ahead so you pay as little taxes as you legally have to, avoid costly mistakes, and are covered if something unexpected comes up. At our firm, wealth, tax, and estate all work together under one roof. I work directly with our CPAs, EAs, and attorneys to help keep your plan aligned and save you money. Qualified wealth clients also receive tax service credits through our firm, which often cover most or all of their tax services. I focus on making financial planning clear and easy to follow. I help clients understand their investments, reduce taxes owed, improve cash flow, and prepare for major transitions like retirement or selling a business. As a CFP® professional, I put my clients’ interests first. I take time to understand your goals and build tailored plans you can act on. I help my clients stay clear on where they stand, what to do next, and why it matters so they can move forward with confidence.
