Hi, I’m Dwight. Thanks for stopping by. I am a CPA and fee-only financial advisor in Lafayette, Colorado, and I specialize in tax-efficient financial planning for retirees and those about to retire in Colorado or elsewhere in the United States. My clients are typically age 50 or older and have successfully launched their kids. They are either retired or planning to retire within the next five years or less. Most are property owners, U.S. citizens, and have liquid assets above $750,000. They want comprehensive financial guidance—not just an investment salesperson—and need support as they approach one of the biggest financial transitions of their lives. They prefer to delegate the heavy lifting of investments, financial planning, and tax planning to a professional on an ongoing basis rather than seeking one-time projects. Just as important, they are genuinely nice people. While it may sound cliché, I only work with clients where there is mutual respect and a strong long-term relationship Winding Trail Financial Planning is a fee-only financial planning firm based in Lafayette, Colorado, serving retirees and small business owners who want more than just investment management.

We aim to serve as a long-term partner—helping clients simplify complexity, make confident decisions, and stay on track throughout retirement. • Tax planning and proactive tax strategy • Retirement income planning and distribution strategies • Financial planning for small business owners and S-Corp optimization • Investment management integrated with tax efficiency • Cash flow and balance sheet planning • Coordination with CPAs and attorneys • Ongoing comprehensive financial planning (not one-time plans) Our process emphasizes forward-looking planning—identifying opportunities before year-end and aligning financial decisions with long-term tax outcomes.

Kyle Simmons, CFP®, CRPC®, worked for over 13 years in the tech industry as an engineer. When you work with him, you’re not working with a product salesman, but rather someone who works and talks like you, taking a logical and efficient approach to investment management and retirement planning. He understands the financial and intellectual benefits of being a highly compensated employee as well as the challenges and frustrations. He thinks like an engineer and has the integrity of one too. We are a fiduciary, fee-only firm, which means we're required to always put your interests ahead of our own. We don't sell products, get paid commissions, or receive referral fees.

We believe that our fee-only, fiduciary structure allows us to have a more objective relationship with our clients because it reduces the possible conflicts of interest.

In the last 20 years, I’ve retired 60 times with my various clients. Most people only do it once — which is too bad: you get better with practice. I’ve seen firsthand how the right plan can change a family's future. It’s my mission to share these lessons so you get there faster and succeed on day one of retirement. Some approach retirement like a static mathematical equation - it’s not. It is about funding your purpose, protecting your time, and building a lasting legacy. It is about solving a dynamic, multi-decade cash flow puzzle. I specialize in transforming complex balance sheets into reliable, tax-efficient income streams. For those building wealth, I am comfortable with the technical side of financial planning. I began my career in public accounting and only later transitioned to comprehensive financial planning. That foundational experience taught me that true wealth management is not just about what you earn—it is about what you keep. As a dual Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and Certified Financial Planner™ (CFP®), I translate complex tax codes into clear, actionable wealth strategies At the end of the day, main goal is to take the stress out of money. Whether you are trying to navigate a successful retirement, manage a complex business exit, handle a major life transition, or pass wealth down to your kids, I’m here to help. I don't believe in just talking about financial theories—I focus on real-world, personalized strategies that build lasting success.
