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 fiduciary, paid only by the flat, transparent fee we agree on, and you keep full control of your own accounts. 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.
