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 build Personalized Financial Plans for every client to address important “Real Life” financial issues including Financial & Retirement Planning, Investments, Income Tax Planning, Executive Benefits & Compensation Planning, Insurance & Risk Management Planning, Social Security & Pension Planning, Multi-Generational Trusts, and Estate Planning. In addition, I have specialized expertise with Executive Benefits & Compensation Planning for Restricted Stock (RS), Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), Performance Shares (PS), Non-Qualified Stock Options (NQSO), Incentive Stock Options (ISO), Employee Stock Purchase Plans (ESPP), Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plans (NQDC), Net Unrealized Appreciation (NUA), 457(b) "Double-Limit Catch Up" Provisions, and 457(f) Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plans. Why work with a Fee-Only CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional? Anyone can call themselves a Financial Advisor, but not everyone is held to the Fiduciary Standard of Care. Independent, Fee-Only, Financial Planners combine advanced training, fiduciary ethics, and complete transparency to help you make confident financial decisions during every stage of life. What does “Fee-Only” really mean? A Fee-Only Financial Planner is only compensated by clients. They do not receive any commissions, incentives, or compensation for selling financial products. No sales pressure. No hidden fees. No product bias. You simply pay for objective financial expertise and guidance. How does a Fee-Only Financial Planner plan for every stage of your life? A Fee-Only Financial Planner creates a clear, coordinated, and personalized Financial Plan which covers all aspects of your financial life. Your plan may include monthly cash flow & spending plan, retirement income & retirement distribution strategies, investment management and guidance, tax efficiency and Multi-Year tax planning strategies, insurance & risk management, liquidity planning, education planning, and family legacy goals.
