About

Empathy. Empowerment. Collaboration. Financial planning is about so much more than just the numbers on a spreadsheet--it's about the life you want to lead and the values you hold dear. At MarGo Financial, I specialize in working with women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s who are navigating the complex emotional and financial landscape of being divorced or widowed. Whether you are finding your footing after a long marriage or managing a new chapter of independence, I am here to ensure you feel heard, understood, and empowered.

A People-First Approach Before entering the financial world, I spent decades in "people" professions, including a career in training and development. That experience taught me that the most important part of any plan is the person behind it. My process begins by listening to your story and understanding what matters most to you. We talk about your goals and your concerns before we ever touch the numbers. My mission is to translate complex financial concepts into clear, actionable steps that give you confidence in your future.

Your Partner in Transition Navigating life transitions requires more than just investment management; it requires a partner who can help you see the big picture. From retirement planning to managing newfound assets, I provide a collaborative environment where you can ask questions and take control of your financial life.

About Marie Based in Tucson, Arizona, I founded MarGo Financial to serve Gen X women seeking a more personal, empathetic advisory relationship. I love art, dogs and good Southern Arizona Mexican food. When I’m not helping clients become more confident and secure in their financial future, I enjoy yoga, museums, dance, theater, and hanging out with friends and family.

CFP®

Forthright Finances LLC

Hi there! I’m Scott, and I help young professionals build wealth wisely while still enjoying their life and their lattes. No, you do not need to give up your $7 coffee drink to be able to retire! In my work with clients, I help answer the following questions (and more): • How much do I need to save to be financially independent (ie, retired)? • Do I have the right investments? • How do I prioritize all the financial things I have going on? • What should I select for my 401K investments? • What do I need to do to create a proper Estate Plan? • Am I taking full advantage of my employee benefits? • Is there anything I can do to lower my taxes, now or in the future? • Will my family be okay if something terrible happens to me? • Is my emergency fund adequate? • Is my spending aligned with my goals? You can read more about my services here: https://forthrightfinances.com/wealth-builder/ One last, quick note: Unlike 99% of financial advisory firms, I do not have account minimums, nor do I charge so much that you need to have a 6 figure income to afford my fee. My services are intentionally designed so that anyone, regardless of their assets or income, can get honest, straightforward, and comprehensive financial advice. Even if you're starting with $0.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
