I’m Devin Watts, founder of Fallbrook Fi, a financial planning firm based in Clovis, California. I help professionals and growing families navigate life’s big transitions with clarity, confidence, and a financial plan they can trust. Many of my clients are in their 30s, 40s, or 50s, earning good money, but feeling disorganized or unsure if they’re on the right path. They’re often juggling careers, raising kids, managing debt, or preparing for big milestones. They want to do the right thing but don’t have the time or tools to make sense of everything on their own. That’s where I come in. I provide holistic financial planning and investment management that’s tailored to your life, your values, and your goals. My approach is collaborative, personal, and judgment-free. Whether we’re reviewing your insurance, building your investment strategy, planning for taxes, or aligning your finances with your future, we’ll do it together, one step at a time. I’ve been working in financial services since 2016, but I started Fallbrook Fi to create a firm that puts relationships and real-life context first. No jargon. No pressure. Just thoughtful planning that helps you feel more organized and in control. Outside of work, I’m a husband, dad, triathlete, and lover of the outdoors. If you're looking for a down-to-earth advisor who will help you align your money with what matters most, I’d love to connect.
