After 15+ years as a financial planner working for high net worth families and successful business owners, I decided to follow my dream of starting my own firm, to serve people like myself: ambitious, increasingly complex life, and curious to examine my relationship to money. A true high-touch concierge service to go beyond the numbers by understanding what you want from life and what motivates you. We specialize working with AAPI and underserved communities, to undercover your money story to get a deeper meaning of your values and priorities.

Hi, I'm Louis Guajardo. I’m the founder of Moonshot Planning, a financial planning firm built specifically for creators, freelancers, and self-employed professionals - the people traditional finance tends to overlook. My journey started when I saw firsthand how the industry dismissed talented creators who didn’t fit the usual model. I watched a young creator making more than many people twice her age, yet she had no retirement plan, no tax strategy, and no financial roadmap. When I asked how we could help her, I was told to just ignore her. That stuck with me. After passing my CFP® exam and launching my own firm, Brighter Days Planning, I realized I’d built something safe and predictable - like everyone else. But when that same creator came back, signed up, and started referring her friends after we built her plan, everything changed. I realized this wasn’t just a niche; this was the entire point. So I burned it down and rebuilt, and that’s how Moonshot Planning was born. Today, I’m committed to serving the creators, freelancers, and self-employed people that the rest of the industry has overlooked, helping them build personalized financial plans that actually fit their lives and careers. Outside of work, I stay active and creative. I train in jiu-jitsu and boxing, skateboard, draw, and listen to music, all of which help me stay balanced, focused, and energized both personally and professionally.

Prab Marwah spent a decade in startup growth marketing before becoming a financial advisor — which means he has strong opinions about burn and churn rates, a soft spot for founders, and a firsthand understanding of what it's like to be great at your job and still feel completely lost when it comes to your money. He works at RYSE Financial, a firm his mother Opinder founded in Southern California. It's a small, relationship-first practice that works with high earners in tech and healthcare, business owners, and solopreneurs — people with real income, real complexity, and not nearly enough hours in the day to figure out what to actually do with it. He takes the work seriously. Himself, a little less so. Outside the office, you'll find him deep in a golf round he definitely could've played better, rewatching an anime he's already seen twice, or rekindling his love for music and DJing. He's based in Los Angeles and works with clients both virtually and in-person. Securities and investment advisory services offered through Osaic Wealth, Inc., member FINRA/SIPC.
