We don't have asset minimums or net worth requirements. If your financial life is getting complex and you want someone genuinely in your corner, we built this firm for you. Why We Founded the Firm Most high-earning young professionals don't qualify for traditional wealth management. They're told to wait until they have more assets. We disagreed with that.

Who We Work With Our clients are Millennial professionals (software engineers, product managers, finance and corporate professionals) who are building wealth through their careers and want a long-term partner to help them do it right. We specialize in equity compensation, tax optimization, retirement planning, home purchase planning, and investment management. What Sets Us Apart Israilov Financial brings together a CFP® and a CFA® under one roof. Said Israilov handles financial planning, tax, and retirement strategy; Max Stamakun leads investment management and portfolio design. That combination is rare at independent firms, and it means your financial plan and investment strategy are built by specialists who work together on your behalf. We operate as a fiduciary, always. No commissions, no proprietary products, no conflicts of interest. Our only incentive is to give you advice that serves your goals. Where most firms offer annual reviews, we take a proactive approach: frequent check-ins, adaptive strategies, and education built into every engagement. We don't just manage your money; we help you understand it. Ideal Clients Gen Y / Millennials, tech and corporate professionals with equity compensation and complex financial lives. Fee Options Fee-only. Contact us for details.
