Seasoned advisors focused on newlywed/engaged in the US

The right financial advisor for you depends on how you weigh location, expertise, experience, the clients they typically serve, and how they work with you.

You might be planning your financial future together after getting engaged or recently married, which means combining finances and setting shared goals. A common mistake is overlooking how your individual financial histories and habits affect your joint plans.

  • Joint financial goals. Ask how they help you align your spending, saving, and investing priorities as a couple.
  • Debt and credit integration. Confirm how they address managing and consolidating debts or credit differences between partners.
  • Estate planning basics. Newlyweds often skip updating wills or beneficiary designations; check how the advisor guides you through these steps.
  • Communication facilitation. See if they support open discussions about money to prevent misunderstandings down the road.

Here are top matches to get you started. Review each profile to compare experience, credentials, and approach.

PB Wealth, LLC

My Financial Background: I am a CFA® Charterholder and CFP® Professional. For over a decade I served in various roles at Morgan Stanley and BNP Paribas in the New York metro area before relocating to Charlotte, North Carolina in 2021 where I was most recently a Vice President at Bank of America. Why I founded PB Wealth: I started PB Wealth to make a real impact in people’s lives, specifically focusing on professionals and families who may have some time before they retire, but they are in their peak decision-making years and need someone that truly invests in and empowers them. Starting my own RIA has given me the flexibility and independence I need to serve clients in their best interest, without compromise. My Mission: I believe a financial advisor should meet you where you are, whether you’re just starting out or whether you’re in your peak earning years, it should not matter. My mission is to help you build a life that is truly meaningful to you and that starts with getting to know who you are and what matters most to you.
