Steven Edward Zeller

I am an independent 'Fee-Only' financial planner and advisor. I am a fiduciary focused on giving objective, holistic, and comprehensive financial advice. I also work with individuals helping to navigate whatever stage of life you are in, from building wealth all the way to preserving what you’ve already worked hard to build. My background is in finance and financial planning. After receiving my Bachelor of Science degree from Sacramento State's Financial Planning program, I continued to advance my financial planning and advisory experience and knowledge by obtaining various credentials, including the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® marks, also known as the CFP® marks. This noteworthy designation is generally considered to be the 'Gold Standard' in financial planning. With my prior firm, I was responsible for creating many of the most complex financial plans. Additionally, I was on the firm's Investment Committee, playing a role in the direction of the various portfolio allocations and recommendations that were used for clients. I also provide outsourced financial planning services for other advisors through Foundation Financial Planning. In doing this work, I continue to improve and hone my planning skills by gaining valuable insight into how financial plans are done with a firm that specializes in doing plans for all sorts of advisors. I currently reside in Rocklin CA, with my wife and young growing family. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring the outdoors, BBQing, and tinkering with things around the house.
