Nicole Carson, CFP®, is the Founder and Wealth Planner at 2nd Story Wealth, a boutique, fee-only firm dedicated to helping clients build, manage, and align their wealth with the life they truly want to live. With over 20 years of experience, including leadership roles working with ultra-high-net-worth families, Nicole has guided clients through complex financial decisions involving investments, taxes, equity compensation, and long-term planning.
What sets Nicole apart is not just her technical expertise, but how she shows up for her clients. She understands that behind every balance sheet is a person navigating career demands, family priorities, and evolving goals. Her work is grounded in helping clients create clarity and confidence, especially during periods of change, whether that’s a new opportunity, a business transition, family changes, or preparing for retirement.
Nicole’s planning style is both strategic and approachable. She breaks down complex topics into clear, actionable steps and partners closely with clients to implement them over time. Her goal is to ensure clients feel organized, proactive, and in control, not overwhelmed.
At her core, Nicole believes wealth should create options: the ability to spend more time with family, pursue meaningful work, give back, and build something that lasts. Through thoughtful planning and ongoing partnership, she helps clients move from simply doing well to living well... with intention.
Nicole earned her Bachelor of Science in Finance from DeSales University, and went on to earn her Masters in Business Administration at Holy Family University, graduating with Honors. She also holds the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designation. Some of her memberships include Financial Planning Association (FPA) and Association for African American Financial Advisors, and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.
When she is not spending time with her clients, she is spending quality time with her husband Tarif, daughters Karessa and Kennedy, and sons Chris and Michael.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.
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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
