I founded GuidePoint because I believe that fee-only financial planning is the road map to an amazing place – financial freedom. Financial freedom gives you the power to plan for endless possibilities. It is the power to retire early, send your kids to any college, or spend more of your precious time with the ones that matter most. For me, this all begins by working in a transparent, fee-only manner. This means every day we are working for you and your best interests. Together we will explore valuable planning opportunities, uncover financial blind spots, and achieve an even greater tomorrow. As a planner, one of my favorite quotes is, "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago - the second best time is now." If you have never worked with a fee-only planner before, I am excited to share our distinct approach with you. I offer a free 30-minute call where you can ask me any financial questions you may have.

Welcome to Acadia Financial Services. It’s different here. From its genesis, we have consciously built a firm that is designed to meet the financial service needs of most individuals and families, while simultaneously addressing many of the hesitations that people face when hiring an advisor. The motivation to form Acadia stemmed from my first experience with a financial advisor. As a Second Lieutenant in the US Air Force back in 1990, I was referred by a friend to his advisor. In short order, it became clear that he did not have my best interests in mind; he did a fairly good job of separating me from my money. I was so dismayed by the incident that I became my own financial advisor, determined to protect others from the same experience. Nearly thirty years later, when it was time to retire from the military, I was called to continue serving others as a Christian financial advisor. I now focus on helping clients pursue financial freedom and contentment. Again, welcome to Acadia Financial Services. I think you will like what you see.

I'm the founder of Gilmore Financial Planning. I work with people building towards financial freedom, from visualizing possibilities, to mapping out what steps to take, to actually living it.

I'm a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® and an Enrolled Agent, an IRS credential reflecting demonstrated tax knowledge. I race regularly at US Masters rowing regattas and love going on adventures with my husband, four boys, and two dogs. Our family budget has categories for rowing and for camping equipment. I understand what it means to plan around the things that matter.
