My goal is to provide working professionals with sound financial advice to help them best position themselves and their financial lives for success. While the majority of our clients have medical backgrounds or are business owners, our services are best targeted to those with investable assets and are in the asset accumulation phase of their life. I provide comprehensive financial planning services as well as investment advisory services. PVA Financial LLC is a state-registered RIA firm. We focus our business on providing PRACTICAL, VALUABLE and ALIGNED advice. I found that to be missing when I was looking for an advisor more than two decades ago and have vowed to keep focused on those three tenets. Before founding PVA Financial, I worked as a private equity executive. With over 15 years of financial services experience, I've spent the majority of my career evaluating businesses, investing in them, finding ways to accelerate their growth and improve their operational efficiency. This background has given me unique insight into the importance of building strong foundations and the necessity for clear and effective communication...both of which are incorporated into our relationships with clients. I graduated from Washington University in St. Louis with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. I also received my MBA from the Booth School of Business at the University of Chicago, with a focus on Finance & Accounting. I also hold the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designation, which requires comprehensive knowledge in all areas of financial planning, including insurance planning, risk management, employee benefits planning, investment planning, income tax planning, retirement planning, and estate planning. On the personal side, I enjoy spending time with my wife, three kids and our goldendoodle Leo. I'm the Cubmaster for my kids Scout group and am heavily involved in a few charitable organizations. I'm an avid Chicago Bears & Bulls fan and enjoy playing tennis, basketball and golf. Additional information can be found at www.pvafinancial.com and I can be reached at naveen@pvafinancial.com

I launched my firm in July of 2024 to continue working with my clients on my own terms. I work with a wide range of types of clients. However, most of my clients tend to fit into a few archetypes; wealth accumulators, wealth distributors, and business owners. The clients I work with benefit when we take a comprehensive approach to their financial picture. Each client receives assistance with retirement planning, investment management, tax planning, insurance/estate planning, and behavioral finance. Does your situation feel familiar? - Accumulator - These clients come to me after some early career success or receiving a windfall (i.e inheritance or large cash distribution). I help clients navigate their financial life from now until retirement and beyond. In many cases this can be 25+ years in the future. I help ensure that you are doing the correct actions each year to build your wealth and enjoy your time and money now... - Distributor - Clients in this stage of their life have regularly saved in their employers retirement plan or independently over their working career. Now that retirement is looming or in motion, you need a plan to distribute your assets and pay your bills. We work together to prepare a distribution plan that coordinates social security, pensions, and distributions from retirement accounts to be the most tax efficient as possible. You've saved all this time, now it is time to enjoy! - Business Owners - My business owner clients fit into a combination of accumulation and distribution. Wherever your business is, we will navigate growing, preserving, and distributing the assets through the lifetime of your business. I am proud to be a fee-only, fiduciary, Certified Financial Planner™️ practitioner in my day-to-day working life. Outside of work you can find me spending time with my wife and kids, playing golf/basketball, and enjoying the Fox River Valley where we have set our roots.
