Mark Joseph Miller

I'm Julie Kist, CFP®, founder of Kelos Wealth Planning. I help people make smarter financial decisions throughout their working years and into retirement through planning-first advice that integrates tax strategy into every stage of life. Rather than treating investments, taxes, retirement income, and estate planning as separate conversations, I help clients understand how every decision affects the next, so every piece of the plan works together—not in isolation. My clients include people preparing for retirement, already living in retirement, or navigating significant life transitions such as the loss of a spouse, divorce, or a career change. I also work with many women stepping into the role of primary financial decision-maker, often for the first time. Whether we're optimizing where and how you save today or making decisions about Social Security, Roth conversions, Medicare, and retirement income, the goal is the same: helping you make confident decisions with a clear understanding of your full financial picture. I've spent more than 25 years in financial services across institutional consulting and personal financial planning, with one guiding belief: financial planning changes lives when it's proactive, personal, and purposeful. As a fee-only fiduciary, I'm compensated only by my clients, so my advice is never influenced by commissions or product sales. At Kelos, you'll always work directly with me in an ongoing relationship built on thoughtful planning, proactive communication, and attention to the details that matter most.
