I’m Chris Hartman, a CPA, CFP® professional, and founder of Capital Narrative Wealth Management. I help actors, musicians, writers, directors, and business owners connect their financial decisions with the lives and businesses they want to build. When your income changes from month to month and business decisions affect your household, it helps to have someone who can see how the pieces fit. My accounting background helps me bring cash flow, taxes, investments, and retirement planning into one cohesive picture. I take time to understand what matters to you, explain your options, and help you feel comfortable asking questions. My connection to the creative community is personal. My son is an actor, and my daughter is a French horn musician. Supporting their paths has given me an appreciation for the dedication, uncertainty, and persistence behind a creative career. I’m also involved with the LA Phil Affiliates, supporting the arts through volunteer service and community engagement. For ongoing clients who need additional support, I offer tax preparation, bookkeeping, and payroll through my separate affiliated firm, Capital Narrative Business and Tax Advisory. I reserve these services for existing clients so the work reflects an understanding of their goals and overall financial picture. Whether you’re building momentum in your career, growing a business, or preparing for your next chapter, I want you to feel informed and supported in your financial decisions. Let’s start with a conversation about what you’re building and what you need from a financial partner.
