Karen Beaver Hitz

The driving force behind my work as a financial planner is empowering clients to build a meaningful financial plan, one that aligns with their core values and purpose. My Journey: After receiving entry-level training from a large brokerage firm back in 2012, I ultimately decided that an independent firm was more in alignment with my values as a planner. After dedicating nine years to a mid-sized firm in central Pennsylvania, I leveraged my invaluable experience and expertise to embark on a new journey by founding my own firm, First Light Wealth, LLC in 2023. Professional Growth: Throughout my career, I've embraced continuous learning and professional growth to stay at the forefront of the ever-evolving financial landscape. In 2021, I embarked upon the challenging journey of earning the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ mark, a designation held by less than 30% of financial advisors. Who I Work WIth: I specialize in delivering comprehensive financial planning services tailored to the unique needs of attorneys, small business owners, and families. By understanding the distinct financial challenges and opportunities each group faces, I help them navigate their financial journey with confidence, ensuring a secure and prosperous future. Areas of Expertise: - Retirement planning - Investment management - Debt strategies - Insurance planning - Estate planning - Tax optimization Let's Connect: I'm excited to connect with professionals who share my passion for finance, whether you're an attorney, business owner, or an individual looking to secure your financial future.
