CFP®-certified financial advisors working with retirees in Seattle, 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.

You might be entering retirement or already retired and facing decisions about how to manage your income, taxes, and investments to support your lifestyle. A common mistake is treating retirement finances like your working years, which can lead to overspending or unexpected tax bills.

  • Income sequencing. Ask how they plan withdrawals from Social Security, pensions, and investments to balance cash flow and tax impact.
  • Tax-aware planning. Confirm they consider Washington's capital gains tax and federal taxes when recommending strategies.
  • Long-term care costs. Discuss how they incorporate potential healthcare expenses into your retirement budget.
  • Legacy goals. Check if they help align your estate plans with your wishes and beneficiary needs.

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