I help individuals and families make informed financial decisions through comprehensive planning, investment management, retirement planning, tax planning, and biblical stewardship. My goal is to simplify complex financial topics and help clients understand not only what decisions to make, but why they are making them. While I work with clients from many backgrounds, I particularly enjoy serving people who are approaching retirement or already retired. Retirement often brings a long list of important decisions regarding investments, taxes, income planning, Social Security, estate planning, healthcare, and legacy goals. I help clients navigate those decisions with a structured process and a long-term perspective. I am also passionate about helping Christians integrate their faith with their financial lives. As a Certified Kingdom Advisor®, I believe money is a tool entrusted to us by God, and financial planning should reflect both wisdom and stewardship. Whether clients share my faith or not, they appreciate having an advisor who takes time to understand their values and align financial decisions with what matters most to them. My career in financial services began in 2006, and I moved into wealth management in 2008. Over the years, I have served clients in banking, investment management, retirement plans, and comprehensive financial planning. In 2013, I joined Fidelity Investments, where I ultimately served as Vice President of Relationship Management, overseeing approximately $8 billion in retirement plan assets. In 2022, I founded Chisholm Wealth Management because I wanted the freedom to provide truly independent, fiduciary advice without product sales, commissions, or corporate sales goals. As a fee-only advisor, my focus is solely on helping clients make the best decisions for their unique circumstances. At the end of the day, I view financial planning as a relationship business. Clients trust me with some of the most important decisions in their lives, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to provide thoughtful advice, honest communication, and a long-term partnership that helps clients pursue financial confidence and peace of mind throughout every stage of life.
