After 15+ years as a financial planner working for high net worth families and successful business owners, I decided to follow my dream of starting my own firm, to serve people like myself: ambitious, increasingly complex life, and curious to examine my relationship to money. A true high-touch concierge service to go beyond the numbers by understanding what you want from life and what motivates you. We specialize working with AAPI and underserved communities, to undercover your money story to get a deeper meaning of your values and priorities.

Before we ever talk about financial planning, my team and I want to genuinely understand and deeply care about your life. Not just your accounts, taxes, or investments, but what those things are meant to protect. Your family.
 Your business.
 Your future.
 Your peace of mind.
 The people who depend on you. Our most important responsibility as a team is to listen, understand what matters most, and deeply care about your situation, because it truly matters. Once we fully understand what you are carrying, what you are trying to protect, and what you want your money to make possible, we then help turn that understanding into a clear plan. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® at Chatterton & Associates, my goal is simple, to give business owners and retirees a clear plan that keeps you one step ahead so you pay as little taxes as you legally have to, avoid costly mistakes, and are covered if something unexpected comes up. At our firm, wealth, tax, and estate all work together under one roof. I work directly with our CPAs, EAs, and attorneys to help keep your plan aligned and save you money. Qualified wealth clients also receive tax service credits through our firm, which often cover most or all of their tax services. I focus on making financial planning clear and easy to follow. I help clients understand their investments, reduce taxes owed, improve cash flow, and prepare for major transitions like retirement or selling a business. As a CFP® professional, I put my clients’ interests first. I take time to understand your goals and build tailored plans you can act on. I help my clients stay clear on where they stand, what to do next, and why it matters so they can move forward with confidence.

Prab Marwah spent a decade in startup growth marketing before becoming a financial advisor — which means he has strong opinions about burn and churn rates, a soft spot for founders, and a firsthand understanding of what it's like to be great at your job and still feel completely lost when it comes to your money. He works at RYSE Financial, a firm his mother Opinder founded in Southern California. It's a small, relationship-first practice that works with high earners in tech and healthcare, business owners, and solopreneurs — people with real income, real complexity, and not nearly enough hours in the day to figure out what to actually do with it. He takes the work seriously. Himself, a little less so. Outside the office, you'll find him deep in a golf round he definitely could've played better, rewatching an anime he's already seen twice, or rekindling his love for music and DJing. He's based in Los Angeles and works with clients both virtually and in-person. Securities and investment advisory services offered through Osaic Wealth, Inc., member FINRA/SIPC.
