My name is Trishul Patel, CFP®, MBA. I achieved financial independence before 40, and with my 100% virtual advisory business, I get up every day to help others do the same. To get where I am, I prioritized aggressive savings and identified the things that are truly important in my life. Beyond finance and investing, I am an entrepreneur and problem solver at heart. Creativity and curiosity have always been a part of me. At an early age, I began soldering analog circuits, building computers, and programming simple games. Academically, I also have a few degrees from Cornell University. I have been investing for over two decades. Over my professional career, I’ve designed large-scale financial applications for tier-one banks. I likewise managed an exotic options book for a private firm based out of Southeast Asia, generating over $750 million in revenue in three years. And I was a Portfolio Manager for a Hedge Fund, managing over $100 million in assets. Nothing inspires me more than discovering others who are following their dreams. I often feed off the energy of those around me and I enjoy healthy debate and intellectual discourse, especially when it comes to topics that I love and enjoy, such as investing. From my perspective, I simply possess an insatiable desire to learn, understand, and help others. These days, in addition to helping my clients accomplish their financial and investment goals, I also enjoy blogging, podcasting, biking, and hiking with my wife and daughter.

Financial planning shouldn’t feel overwhelming, confusing, or full of hidden agendas. My goal is simple: help you make smart, informed decisions with your money so you can move forward with confidence. I’m a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®), Enrolled Agent (EA), and Retirement Income Certified Professional® (RICP®), with a Master’s Degree in Personal Financial Planning from Kansas State University. As a fee-only fiduciary, I provide objective advice with transparent pricing—no commissions, no product sales, and no conflicts of interest. Before launching Trammell Wealth, I spent several years working behind the scenes supporting advisors across the country, building financial plans and helping clients navigate complex decisions around retirement, Social Security, taxes, and investments. Today, I bring that same level of detail and strategy directly to the individuals and families I serve. What sets my approach apart is the integration of financial planning, investment management, and tax strategy. As an Enrolled Agent, I don’t just recommend tax strategies—I can implement them and prepare returns for many of my clients. This allows for more proactive, coordinated planning throughout the year, not just at tax time. I work primarily with individuals and families who want clarity around retirement, are preparing for major life transitions, or simply want to feel more organized and in control of their financial lives. My process—Plan • Protect • Prosper—is designed to bring structure and simplicity to even the most complex situations. I’m based in Wellington, Florida, where I live with my wife, Fabiola, a Registered Nurse, and our two kids, Alexander and Leah. When I’m not working with clients, you’ll likely find me teaching, writing, or involved in the local community. If you’re looking for straightforward advice, a long-term partner, and a plan you can actually follow—I’d be happy to help.
