Joshua W. Tschirgi, CFP®, is the Principal and Lead Wealth Advisor at True Path Capital Strategies, LLC, which he founded in 2016 after five years in the industry. Josh works with people approaching retirement or already in it, using a structured process that coordinates retirement income, investments, tax considerations, and risk management into a single plan. Much of that work happens across disciplines. Retirement decisions rarely stay in one lane — a Roth conversion is a tax question, a beneficiary designation is a legal one, and a withdrawal strategy touches both. Josh coordinates directly with clients’ CPAs and estate attorneys so the pieces get decided together rather than in sequence, and so nobody is working from a partial picture. He holds the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification, FINRA Series 7 and Series 66 registrations, and an Oregon life and health insurance license. Common areas of work include retirement income planning, Social Security timing, Roth conversion analysis, estate and charitable giving coordination, and long-term care planning. Clients meet with Josh by video, at their homes, or at a professional meeting space, whichever fits. His practice is based in the Portland metro area and serves clients across seventeen states. He and his wife, Melissa, are raising two children in West Linn. Outside the office he golfs, hikes, and follows the Ducks. Independent Financial Group, LLC is a dual-registered broker-dealer and SEC-registered investment adviser that provides brokerage, portfolio management, financial planning, and retirement plan services to individuals, charities, corporations, and plan sponsors. The firm offers advisory programs through its AccessPoint platform and third-party asset managers, serving a diverse client base including high-net-worth individuals and institutional clients.
