Uncommon for most financial professionals, my background spans psychology, teaching, puzzles, and gymnastics. All of which has helped me become the woman and financial advisor I am today. Having started life in the state of Washington, I moved to Arizona for college. After several years, I found my understanding of individual behavior was well suited to helping people learn about finances. Once I saw first-hand how life changing the results of good financial planning can be for a person, it was like I was struck by lightning. There could be nothing else I would be satisfied doing professionally – being a financial advisor was my calling. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, my passion is helping couples and career-focused individuals who are building wealth and maintaining careers while balancing multiple goals to work toward financial success. I’m a strong advocate of empowering people about money; my mission is to help you overcome the unique challenges you may face to help you successfully achieve financial security and peace of mind so you can focus on what’s important to you. I received my undergraduate degree in Finance from Arizona State University W.P. Carey School of Business. Originally from Shoreline Washington, I’ve called the Valley of the Sun home since 2001.

My philosophy is to help as many as possible (Reach) while making those I'm helping smarter and savvier with their finances (Teach), all with an eternal/kingdom focus. ​ I spent the first 25 years of my career focused on building some of the world's most innovative technologies. It was thrilling. It was fun. I was also a client of a financial advisor during this time. Looking back, I can't believe I stayed with him for 20+ years. I was young, naive, and didn't know what I didn't know. In 2019, I arrived at a fork in the road. I reached the halftime of my career. In a decision based on faith, I pivoted and stepped through the proverbial open door to financial advising. That door led to another, which led to another. This is how I began my financial planning journey.​ Now, I'm setting out to be the advisor I wish I had. My mission is to be a biblically-centered advisor who cares for, gets to know, and proactively guides my clients to become financially free and to do it with an eternal stewardship mindset, sending treasures forward to where it matters.

I’m Steven Chau, owner of Know Your Worth Financial and a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™. Know Your Worth Financial was started to help immigrants and young minority professionals achieve financial independence in an increasingly complex financial environment. We help clients achieve this by simplifying personal finance and by offering a safe space for people to talk openly about money and get the tools necessary to build a thriving financial future. Growing up in Arizona as a second-generation Chinese-American, outside of being told just to “save more and spend less”, conversations around money didn’t get much more complex. It wasn’t until I started my career in finance that I learned how underprepared my generation was when it came to personal finance. During my decade in the financial services industry, I observed a woeful lack of attention paid towards millennials and minority communities. As I progressed in my career, traditionally firm prerequisites like net worth and investable made it more and more difficult to help the people I was closest to. I started Know Your Worth Financial to move away from that traditional structure and work with more people like you. I hope you enjoyed learning a little bit about me. I look forward to meeting you and learning about your journey!
