Four10 Planning

Hello! I am Rebecca Yerby, CFP® and the founder of four10 planning. I reside in Birmingham, AL with my husband, two sons, and two dogs. I work with clients both locally and virtually and strive to build deep meaningful relationships with my clients. In April of 2023, I launched four10 planning to serve mission-driven millennials and their families and help them achieve their financial goals. My goal is to help clients build solid financial foundations to give them the freedom to live generously by giving of their time, talents, and resources back to their communities. Financial services has often underserved millennials and their families, and I am looking to change that. Through advice-only, comprehensive financial planning and financial education, we strive to help our clients feel confident in their financial lives so they can focus on all of the other things that are important to them. When I'm not working with clients or spending time with family, you can find me actively involved in my church and local community.
