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
