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.

I'm a fiduciary, fee-only financial planner and advisor who founded Fruit of the Vine Financial in 2023 after having worked at two other financial firms. I offer service in three main areas: - comprehensive financial planning to first help people better understand their current financial circumstances and second to provide them an optimal route to meet their financial needs and reach their financial goals, - investment management, providing a choice between general investing and Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI), which is a way to invest in funds that more closely align with Christian principles, - help with setting up business retirement plans and/or serving as a fiduciary advisor to 401(k) plans. Because I'm always trying to improve how I can help my clients navigate their financial lives, I obtained several advanced certifications. I earned the Certified Financial Planner® (CFP®) certification and Retirement Income Certified Professional® (RICP®) designation following programs at The American College of Financial Services. And the Certified Investment Management Analyst® (CIMA®) certification followed from a program through the Yale School of Management. Outside of work, I enjoy kayaking, Bible study, playing my violin, and spending time with my three grown children and with friends. Not only do I have the financial education and professional experience, I also bring the knowledge gained from personal financial experience. From sorting all the finances after the death of a spouse, to helping kids through college, to riding the roller coaster of a major recession, and to starting and running a business, I understand the highs and lows that sometimes accompany the numbers. It helps to partner with a financial professional who's been there and can help you through the ups and downs of your life's journey.
