Based in Olympia, Washington. Serving clients statewide. Seth Deal is a CPA and fee-only fiduciary financial advisor who helps Washington State public employees retire with confidence. He holds the PFS credential, the financial planning designation built for CPAs. That makes him a tax expert first, with full financial planning on top. In retirement, where every pension and Social Security choice carries a tax bill, that order matters. Seth understands public sector retirement because he lived it. He worked in municipal finance with the City of Olympia before serving public employees as a CPA since 2018. He joined LifeFocus as an advisor in July 2024, working alongside his father and firm founder, Bob Deal, CPA/PFS. They keep the practice small and high-touch.
