You deserve simple, straightforward financial advice that you understand and trust. I’m the son of two master plumbers. When it came to plumbing, “master” is the right word. They were good at what they did. And, like all contractors and tradesmen, their business went through highs and lows. When times were good, we took amazing vacations and enjoyed life together. When times were tough, like going through bankruptcy to avoid losing everything, we had to bear the burden. This is a story told all too often, and it’s why I started Forthright Financial Services. I received a Bachelors Degree in Accounting, Masters Degree in Taxation, and a Certification in Financial Planning on my way to becoming a Certified Financial Planner® professional. I worked for 4 years at a CPA firm, where I became the lead tax associate for individuals and small partnerships. I switched careers to my original passion and worked for a great financial planning firm for 5 years. While there I became the director of financial planning and helped create and implement the entire financial planning process. Throughout my journey, I helped my dad in many different ways. After my dad passed away, I left my job and started my business with the mission to help other hard-working business owners, like him, understand their finances in order to minimize taxes, maximize cashflows, increase profits, and grow their business efficiently. As a contractor, your business and your personal financial situations are so connected that I believe you need special advice to address both of those areas simultaneously. That special guidance is exactly what we provide. Straightforward advice for all circumstances, goals, and seasons of life – that’s always a phone call away. If you’re ready to offload the stress and worry around your money and your business, now and for when your working days are done, let’s talk.

Joshua Brooks, CFP®, is the founder of Exponential Advisors, a fee-only fiduciary financial planning firm serving military leaders, veterans, and their families. With more than two decades of military service and current service as an Army Reserve chaplain, Joshua understands that leaving the military is more than a career change. Decisions involving the Survivor Benefit Plan, Thrift Savings Plan, VA benefits, insurance, taxes, civilian compensation, and family priorities often arrive at the same time. He founded Exponential Advisors to help military families coordinate these decisions through a disciplined planning approach called Operational Wealth Stewardship. Joshua advises clients on retirement income, TSP and employer retirement plans, survivor planning, investment management, tax-aware planning, insurance, charitable giving, estate coordination, and the responsible role digital assets may play within a diversified financial plan. His experience as an enlisted Infantryman, officer, combat veteran, chaplain, husband, and father shapes the way he works: listen carefully, clarify what matters most, explain the tradeoffs in plain language, and develop a practical course of action. His objective is not to predict markets or chase financial trends, but to help clients coordinate their resources with greater clarity, discipline, and purpose.
