Hi! My name is Joe Forish and I started Fortrove Partners to help technologists deal with challenges of company ownership / equity compensation. From a young age, I learned about maximizing hard work and doing what you do best while working at my father’s auto dealership. I also saw first-hand both the rewards and challenges of running a business. Prior to Fortrove, I honed my expertise investing in public and private equity. I graduated from Pennsylvania State University with a B.S. in Finance and International Business, and from the Harvard Business Analytics Program, with Distinction. In my free time you will find me skiing an evergreen tree-lined run or longboarding when it’s cloudy and glassy. I live in New York City with my wife Linda.

Let’s navigate this late-capitalist hellscape together. 🔥 I’m a flat-fee, values-driven financial planner who helps people like you figure out what a good, livable version of success looks like—and how to get there with your money. Some of my clients are high earners in tech, wondering how much longer they can (or want to) stay in the game. Others are purpose-driven professionals—therapists, professors, nonprofit leaders—who never expected to make a ton, but still want clarity, security, and options. Whether you’re burned out and thinking about what’s next, or finally reaching stability and ready to make the most of it, I’m here to help you align your finances with your values, your goals, and your actual life. If that sounds like a fit, let’s talk.

Our clients and community value us for both our personal approach as well as our background experience. Our clients are amazing but do not always have the time and energy to go it on their own. We help bridge family and business conversations, and align our clients paths with their intended priorities. We have backgrounds in institutional investments, and consulting financial advisors, but we are perpetually students as well as surrounding ourselves with amazing professional alliances to help support our clients and community in every way we can. Growing up, my parents were owners of a small business that did paving and excavation services. I was able to work summers and through college and miss operating equipment. Same time I saw many of their challenges through each stage of ownership. I love helping business owners and consultants bridge their investments and behavior in alignment with their prioritized goals and intent. Working at an institutional asset manager and broker dealer allowed me to spend countless hours with amazing financial professionals (advisors, portfolio managers, economists and strategists). There is alot to learn in good times, and even more to learn in challenging times. We try to bring a long term vision and healthy perspective to meetings where clients are the ones driving to their goals with the full support of our firm and every resource we have.

I love what I do. I bring technical expertise, practical strategies, and compassion to each client's unique circumstances. I pride myself on operating as a one-woman shop that is not affiliated with any financial services firms, allowing me to provide personal, unbiased advice tailored to each client's unique needs and financial goals. A former Wall Street analyst, I bring broad investment experience, across the capital structure. I began my career in 2003 in Lehman Brother's Investment Banking Division. I then transitioned to high yield research at Credit Suisse's Fixed Income Division, gaining valuable experience on the sell-side. This was followed by a move to the buy-side at future Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin's hedge fund, Dune Capital, where I invested throughout the capital structure, in both public and private markets. After my time on Wall Street, I earned my certification as a Certified Financial Planner, allowing me to couple integrated financial planning expertise with my extensive investment experience in order to best serve my personal finance clients. I graduated from Yale in 2003 and live in Brooklyn Heights with my husband and three children. I am also a former writer and published novelist, former cellist, and former emergency medical responder. When not working or being with my kids, I love to run in Brooklyn Bridge Park, read anything and everything, and experience all that NYC has to offer.
