Hi, I'm Kyle Wilke, CFP®, founder of Equi Financial Planning. I grew up in Southeast Asia, where my parents followed their passion for philanthropy to Thailand and worked in refugee camps in the years after the Vietnam War. Watching the difference compassion made shaped how I define wealth. I came to believe that the only way to truly feel wealthy is by enriching the lives of others. At Equi, we measure wealth two ways: your financial well-being, and the difference your money makes for your family, and your community. As a fee-only fiduciary, I don't sell products or earn commissions, I'm legally and ethically bound to put your interests first, every time. I do my best work with people driven by a genuine passion for what they do: • Early-career professionals building confident money habits from the ground up • Established professionals pursuing big goals around family legacy and charitable endeavors. • Families at a crossroads; navigating the emotional and financial complexity of moving themselves or a loved one into a new living arrangement Whether you need a one-time plan or a long-term partner, we start with your goals and values, not a product. Together we'll tackle the real questions: How do I make the most of my equity comp and benefits? When should I take Social Security? How do I retire with confidence? Can I invest in a way that's good for my returns and good for the world? And how do I leave a legacy that reflects what I care about? If money is a tool, let's make sure yours is building the life and the impact you actually want. I'd love to get acquainted. Reach out, and let's talk.
