Hello, I'm Tess Downing. I am the founder and lead financial advisor of Complete View Financial LLC, a fee-only financial planning firm serving individuals and families who are either retired or nearing retirement. We are retirement-focused and specialize in planning and collaborating with retirees to make the most of their financial journey. We want to partner with you in your journey by helping you set financial goals and empowering you with the financial knowledge you need for success through transparent and honest guidance. Our mission is to provide clients with peace of mind regarding their financial picture so they are able to focus on the things that matter most to them. Since our inception, we have spent numerous hours collaborating with those preparing for retirement and current retirees to better understand the true concerns, aspirations, and desires that lie ahead for late adulthood. I have been named to the Investment News list of “40 Under 40” which features the best professionals among the financial advice industry’s up-and-comers. I have also been repeatedly recognized in Northern Virginia Magazine’s list of Top Financial Advisors. I earned my Master of Business Administration degree from Texas Tech University. I also graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Personal Financial Planning from TTU. Before founding Complete View Financial, I worked in the fee-only financial planning and investment management industry with highly reputable firms on the East Coast. On a personal note, when I am not working with clients, I am with my family, my husband and two daughters. We have our hands full and typically have busy weekends with swim parties, ballet, family visits, and movie nights. We love to travel and are now hoping to pass on that passion to our children. When I do manage to escape for a night, I enjoy trying the best new restaurants which then necessitates being a body pump fanatic at my local gym.
