Madera, CA

Optometry Wealth Advisors LLC

Hi, I'm Evon. I'm the founder and lead advisor at Optometry Wealth Advisors. I'm dedicated to serving optometrists, especially those in private practice. I help optometrists gain clarity on their finances, track progress, and make the best financial decisions for their lives. You're on your way to financial freedom, and I'm your guide to get you there! If you own a private practice - or dream of cold-starting or buying into a private practice - we may be a great fit to work together. After years of extra schooling, you have a world of financial decisions to navigate. Own a practice? You also wear the hat of business owner - building and leading your team, improving your patient experience, and managing the finances. All on top of being an excellent practitioner. With all that on your plate, I'm here to help you grow your wealth, master your money, and plan purposefully. Together we navigate the most important decisions around your finances. We tackle cash flow and debt, tax planning, making work optional, starting a practice, insurance and risk management, estate planning, and understanding your practice finances. My credentials and education: • Certified Financial Planner™ (CFP®) professional • Certified Student Loan Professional™ (CSLP®) • Bachelor of Arts in Finance and Marketing, Fresno Pacific University I began my career in 2014 working for one of those large, product-focused financial companies. I saw the conflicts involved in product sales and knew there was a better way. With that in mind I joined a fantastic local, independent financial planning firm. Yet, I saw there were still gaps for optometrists looking for great financial advice and still on their way to building wealth. Your profession and practices fascinate me. Many advisory firms focused on retirees and people who already grew their nest egg. So, after five great years, I left to launch Optometry Wealth Advisors to help ODs nationwide. When I'm not serving ODs or researching nerdy financial planning stuff, I'm spending time with my wife and two kids, involved in my church community, and trying as hard as I can to get outdoors. If you'd like to learn more, please set up a FREE consultation. If nothing else, check out my blog. Each week I write about issues important to ODs, along with other types of content you'll find helpful. Listen to Evon's podcast here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1970676.
