Empathy. Empowerment. Collaboration. Financial planning is about so much more than just the numbers on a spreadsheet--it's about the life you want to lead and the values you hold dear. At MarGo Financial, I specialize in working with women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s who are navigating the complex emotional and financial landscape of being divorced or widowed. Whether you are finding your footing after a long marriage or managing a new chapter of independence, I am here to ensure you feel heard, understood, and empowered. A People-First Approach Before entering the financial world, I spent decades in "people" professions, including a career in training and development. That experience taught me that the most important part of any plan is the person behind it. My process begins by listening to your story and understanding what matters most to you. We talk about your goals and your concerns before we ever touch the numbers. My mission is to translate complex financial concepts into clear, actionable steps that give you confidence in your future. Your Partner in Transition Navigating life transitions requires more than just investment management; it requires a partner who can help you see the big picture. From retirement planning to managing newfound assets, I provide a collaborative environment where you can ask questions and take control of your financial life. About Marie Based in Tucson, Arizona, I founded MarGo Financial to serve Gen X women seeking a more personal, empathetic advisory relationship. I love art, dogs and good Southern Arizona Mexican food. When I’m not helping clients become more confident and secure in their financial future, I enjoy yoga, museums, dance, theater, and hanging out with friends and family.
