Helping Widowed Women Find Financial Peace _____ My name is Elliott Weir, the owner of III Financial. I’ve been working with clients like you since 2004. Come to think of it, it has been longer – before I officially started as a financial planner! Let me explain… I started my career as a technology geek, having earned a Computer Science degree from Southern Methodist University (Go Ponies!). Once I graduated I secured a great job with Ernst & Young LLP as a technology consultant to Fortune 500 companies. Then on August 20th, 1997 my life changed forever. After a brief battle with cancer, my father passed away at the age of 50. I suddenly found myself helping my mother with insurance, investments, attorneys, CPAs, and more, because my father was the one in charge of these things for the family. Why I Share This With You _____ This formative event explains a lot about who I am, about III Financial, and about what you can expect from me. I choose to work with widowed women because I want to have a meaningful and direct impact on their lives, as I did for my mother. It took me years to piece it all together into my true calling. In that time, I continued with Ernst & Young, left to earn my Master in Business Administration (MBA) at the University of Texas’ McCombs School of Business, and spent a short while at IBM Tivoli. Then the light bulb went off and I became a financial adviser in 2004.

Hi, I’m Brian, Founder and Financial Planner at Safe Landing Financial. I started Safe Landing Financial to serve as a one-stop, fee-only financial planning firm for tech professionals who want to plan for a work optional future. I believe you deserve advice from a fiduciary who puts your best interests first. The name Safe Landing Financial was inspired by my love of travel, the idea of reaching your financial destination safely, and a desire to help others navigate complex financial decisions. With more than a decade of experience in financial planning and investment management, I’ve seen how disconnected saving, investing, tax planning, retirement, insurance, and estate planning can feel without thoughtful coordination. My goal is to bring those pieces together into a clear, actionable strategy that helps you move forward with confidence. Many of the people I work with are employed at large technology companies like Dell Technologies. They’re often facing complex decisions around RSUs, 401(k)s, deferred compensation, and planning for a work optional future. Here are a few common questions I help clients work through: • How do I handle equity compensation and bonuses without getting crushed by taxes? • Am I taking advantage of the advanced planning opportunities available to me? • How do I balance enjoying life now with saving tax-efficiently for the future? Here’s what you can expect when we work together: • Confidence: Gain clarity on your full financial picture. My planning process ensures you’re on track and fully understand where you stand. • Expertise: I make complex financial decisions easier to understand and take action. I specialize in guiding high-earning tech executives through their financial journey. • Customization: Your plan evolves with your life, not a cookie-cutter approach. I help connect the dots from where you are today to where you want to be. When I’m not working on financial plans or managing portfolios, I’m usually traveling with my wife and our 5-pound Maltipoo, Lorelei, searching for the best barbecue or a fresh ocean breeze. If you're a tech professional ready to take control of your finances and plan for a work optional future, I’d love to hear your story.

As a comprehensive financial adviser with a unique specialization in equity compensation, my mission is to guide you toward achieving your best life. Throughout my career as an adviser, I have seen how impactful the right advice can be. From an early age, I saw my parents struggle with finances, and I wanted to change that. As a paperboy at age 11, I wanted to know the best way to handle my money and took an interest in financial planning. I also realized that there was an opportunity to help. I earned my undergraduate degree in Business Logistics and my MBA in Management Science, with Honors, from Penn State. While working in logistics for Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway, I received my first stock options and restricted shares. This created a strong interest in stock options and I wanted to know more so I could help others with theirs. While working for the railroad, I completed my CFP® professional education. A few years ago, I realized that people receiving significant equity or stock compensation are often given cookie cutter advice as it relates to their goals. I chose to earn my CPWA® to better serve high net worth individuals, and specifically those with stock compensation. I continue to learn, teach, and lead other advisers to provide higher quality advice to stock compensation recipients. I decided to start Ubequity because I realized that many people, including experienced financial advisers, don’t fully understand the opportunity for impact provided by stock compensation. I enjoy taking you from seeing stock compensation as an investment, or a mystery, to understanding it, using it as a tool to retire, spend time with family, travel, buy property, support charities, pay off debt, and live your best life. In my free time, I enjoy going on adventures with my wife, two kids and our dog and cat. (Although more of a dog lover, I have learned to love our cat too.) Over the years I have enjoyed giving my time to a wide range of causes including Boy Scouts, our church, as a Founding Travel Director and licensed coach for youth soccer, and as a fundraising member of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Team in Training. Outside of work, I can be found training for triathlons, reading and listening to books, hiking, kayaking, canoeing, cheering on Penn State Football and travelling. I truly enjoy helping people reach their goals through financial planning and maximizing stock compensation benefits. I look forward to working with you to achieve your best life.
