You're a successful individual or couple looking for a financial planner who will support you and celebrate with you as you reach money milestones large and small. Among your career, hobbies, social life, and more, you've got a full plate. Even if you could do your own financial planning, you'd still want a pro to confirm that you're making the right money moves. You may also be Childfree, and you want your financial planner to share your values and understand your unique approach to life. That's where I and the team here at Financial Planning Fort Collins ("FPFoCo") come in. Hi! I'm Regina Neenan (they/them), CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ and Your Full-Time Fiduciary®. I know that building your financial plan starts with getting to know you and your goals. I also realize that there's a heck of a lot more to your financial life than your investment mix of stocks, bonds, and cash. That's why I'll work with my colleagues (two additional CFP® pros) via an ensemble approach to developing your financial plan. It'll cover your cash-flow, investment, tax, insurance, and estate planning on your way to achieving your goals. (P.S. One of my colleagues prepares personal income tax returns and manages investments for our clients, aka people like you.) I've been with FPFoCo since 2018 and thrive on creating truly comprehensive financial plans. Knowing that everyday income, spending, and saving make big-picture financial plans successful, I have a passion for optimizing cash-flow planning strategies. I also specialize in right-sizing your insurance policies to fit your needs, protecting you, your assets, and your future. In fact, I'm the director of cash-flow and insurance planning and FPFoCo’s resident DINKWAC (that’s short for “dual income no kids with a cat”). Outside of work, I enjoy playing hockey and being active in the great outdoors with my partner Zack. At home, you can find me listening to podcasts or cuddling my cat Coco.
