Top college savings (529s, UTMA, etc.) financial advisors in Redmond, WA

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.

Saving for college often starts when you want to make the most of tax-advantaged accounts like 529 plans or UTMA custodial accounts. Without careful planning, you might miss opportunities to reduce your tax burden or limit financial aid eligibility.

  • Tax impact awareness. Ask how they navigate federal tax benefits alongside Washington's 7% capital gains tax on large investments.
  • Account selection guidance. Confirm they explain the pros and cons of 529s versus UTMA accounts for your family's goals.
  • Financial aid strategy. Check if they consider how your savings accounts affect your child's eligibility for need-based aid.
  • Investment approach. Look for advisors who tailor investment choices to the timeline and risk tolerance specific to college savings.

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

CFP®, CIMA®

Redmond, WA

Firebrand Wealth Management, LLC

As a college student, I witnessed my mother, who was widowed, place her trust and life insurance money with a friend at a reputable investment firm. Her money was grossly mismanaged, and she was devastated. I am fiercely passionate about protecting my clients and their wealth as a trusted partner throughout their lives, operating with honesty and transparency in all our work together. I launched Firebrand Wealth as an independent, fee-only firm so that I could fully live and breathe these values every day, and lead my team to do the same. I specialize in helping women working in the rough-and-tumble worlds of technology and entrepreneurship. I also help families undergoing big financial changes in their lives, such as a death in the family, divorce, career pivots, sudden wealth, or the burden of caring for parents. Planning and investment services include: -Tax Planning and Strategies -Savings Strategies -Socially-Responsible Investment Management -Early Retirement Planning -Education Planning Having spent 20 years in financial services, from Wall Street to the San Francisco Bay, I now call the greater Seattle area home. I paid my dues working at traditional brokerage firms and the world's largest asset manager, and I believe there is no better way to serve clients than as an independent fiduciary, putting their needs first. In my spare time, when not busy chasing the kids around in matching super-hero capes, I enjoy writing and learning tennis. I graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Wesleyan University in Middletown, CT, with a Bachelor of Arts in the College of Letters and hold the Certified Investment Management Analyst designation from the Wharton School of Business. I am Series 65 licensed and a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
