In my mid-20s, I was making big financial decisions – rolling over a 401(k) after leaving a corporate job, deferring student loans before joining the Peace Corps, and figuring out how to invest while living abroad. Each challenge pushed me to learn more, and I realized I genuinely enjoyed making sense of money. But as my husband and I navigated major milestones – marriage, home buying, career shifts – we had a hard time finding financial advice that was clear, practical, and truly in our best interest. That’s when I knew: financial planning shouldn’t feel like guesswork. I became a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ to help professionals in their 30s and 40s gain clarity and confidence in their financial decisions. I founded Kirwin Financial because there simply weren’t enough fee-only planners serving people who are growing their families, careers, and wealth. Today, I help couples align their money with their life goals – whether it’s buying a home, preparing for a new baby, or planning for financial independence. I offer unbiased, fee-only financial planning, meaning I work in your best interest – no commissions, no product sales, just expert guidance tailored to your life. A comprehensive plan typically costs $3,375, with billing based solely on the time spent at a rate of $275 per hour. You don’t have to figure this out alone. Let’s build a financial plan that fits your life, your goals, and your future. Get started here: https://calendly.com/kirwinfinancial/15min

The CPWA® certification is an advanced professional education and certification for advisors who provide the breadth of specialized skills required to meet the needs of high-net-worth clients. This certification requires advisors to develop advanced knowledge and skills to address the wide range of complex issues faced by wealthy individuals and families, including portfolio strategies, wealth transfer, family dynamics, risk management, asset protection, closely-held business ownership, charitable giving, estate planning, retirement planning, and more. Fewer than 1% of financial advisors have achieved the CPWA® certification. The CEPA® is a unique designation for financial professionals who advise business owners on how to prepare to sell or transition their business successfully, a strategy referred to as “exit planning”. The BFA™ (Behavioral Financial Advice program) integrates traditional finance practices with psychology and neuroscience to improve emotional competency and decision-making behavior that increases effective usage of the financial plan. The Certificate in Blockchain and Digital Assets course is the only certificate program designed for financial professionals. Graduates of the program gain the essential knowledge and understanding of blockchain and digital assets.
