Are you living your best version of financial freedom and are you on the path to financial independence? In Alaska, achieving financial freedom carries a unique significance. From managing heating oil and travel expenses to navigating seasonal challenges, we understand the distinct needs and benefits that define life in the Last Frontier. We specialize in working with Alaska professionals who rely on the state’s PERS and TRS retirement systems, including employees of the State of Alaska, the University of Alaska, and various municipalities and school districts. By extension, we work with all Alaskans—supporting their spouses, guiding them in caring for aging parents, and ensuring they can help their children realize their potential. Frontier’s founder, Greta returned to Alaska after earning her degrees and traveling the globe. Through thoughtful financial planning and goal-setting, she transitioned from a career as a Civil Engineer in Anchorage to becoming a thriving certified financial planning specialist, life partner, and mother. She works with families like her own, with kids, parents, grandparents - who are seeking financial guidance and the independence that comes with a solid and process-driven plan. You can feel confident that Greta faces the same seasons, challenges, joys, and richness that come with life in Alaska, just like you.
