Flat-fee financial advisors working with childfree clients

Hi! I'm Laura Seymour, CFP® and founder of TorchLight Financial. I founded TorchLight in 2011 and have over 17 years of experience helping retirees and pre-retirees navigate one of life's most important financial transitions. My clients are typically asking: Can I afford to retire, and when? Will my money last? Is my plan optimized? It is my goal to use clear language to help educate you about financial concepts to enable you to make the best decisions for YOUR life. I provide comprehensive advice tailored to your personal situation and goals - no cookie cutter plans or advice allowed! I want to be a trusted partner for your financial life journey. Clients can work with me in two ways: Wealth Management: ongoing holistic comprehensive planning advice partnered with professional investment management services Consulting Planning Services: comprehensive financial planning advice on a consulting basis (planning recommendations provided but you execute the trades and don't have to move your assets) I grew up on a dairy farm in western Minnesota (near Willmar) as the eldest daughter. I put myself through college, have been a lifelong learner and I value authentic, genuine relationships. I am grateful for clients who have trusted me to help them with their financial decisions. Travel and cycling are my non-work passions. I have been lucky enough to travel widely and love how it broadens my perspective. Shannon (my life partner) and I want to go on a Tour de France bicycle trip and climb Mont Ventoux (even though he will always beat me up the hills!). Enjoying Minnesota summers on my Bianchi Infinito and heading to a local brewery with friends are my favorite summer activities. Please reach out and share more about yourself! I'd love the opportunity to learn more about you.

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.
