About

Complete View Financial is an independent advisory firm that provides comprehensive financial planning and discretionary portfolio management to individuals and high‑net‑worth clients. The firm combines ongoing planning with investment oversight for a small client base and manages roughly $54.5 million in assets across its relationships.

The adviser primarily follows a passive, asset‑allocation approach using index mutual funds and ETFs, while also applying fundamental analysis when appropriate and monitoring turnover and tax efficiency. It works with unaffiliated outside managers for certain fixed‑income strategies and can advise on and rebalance held‑away accounts using third‑party data aggregation tools.

Noteworthy features for a solo independent firm include advertising third‑party ratings in its materials and operating no‑cost educational seminars and speaking engagements for groups, both practices that are uncommon among peers. The firm also expressly includes held‑away assets in its reported account values and discloses the cybersecurity and credential risks associated with using account aggregators.

Complete View Financial LLC

Hello, I'm Tess Downing. I am the founder and lead financial advisor of Complete View Financial LLC, a fee-only financial planning firm serving individuals and families who are either retired or nearing retirement. We are retirement-focused and specialize in planning and collaborating with retirees to make the most of their financial journey. We want to partner with you in your journey by helping you set financial goals and empowering you with the financial knowledge you need for success through transparent and honest guidance. Our mission is to provide clients with peace of mind regarding their financial picture so they are able to focus on the things that matter most to them. Since our inception, we have spent numerous hours collaborating with those preparing for retirement and current retirees to better understand the true concerns, aspirations, and desires that lie ahead for late adulthood. I have been named to the Investment News list of “40 Under 40” which features the best professionals among the financial advice industry’s up-and-comers. I have also been repeatedly recognized in Northern Virginia Magazine’s list of Top Financial Advisors. I earned my Master of Business Administration degree from Texas Tech University. I also graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Personal Financial Planning from TTU. Before founding Complete View Financial, I worked in the fee-only financial planning and investment management industry with highly reputable firms on the East Coast. On a personal note, when I am not working with clients, I am with my family, my husband and two daughters. We have our hands full and typically have busy weekends with swim parties, ballet, family visits, and movie nights. We love to travel and are now hoping to pass on that passion to our children. When I do manage to escape for a night, I enjoy trying the best new restaurants which then necessitates being a body pump fanatic at my local gym.

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.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
