About

Mandala Financial Advisors provides comprehensive financial planning and discretionary investment management to individuals, including high‑net‑worth clients, and small businesses. Financial planning is described as the core of the relationship and includes retirement and estate planning, cash‑flow and debt analysis, business planning, college savings, insurance review, and coordination on tax‑related strategies.

The firm combines fundamental and technical analysis and uses a mix of passive and active investment vehicles to build portfolios aligned with each client’s investment policy statement. Clients receive an initial written financial plan, ongoing monitoring with quarterly reviews during the first year and at least semiannual meetings thereafter, and use of a digital planning portal for collaboration and data sharing.

Mandala periodically offers educational seminars and speaking engagements that are explicitly educational in nature and do not provide individualized investment advice, a feature that is uncommon among similar independent advisors. The firm also advises on held‑away accounts (assets under administration) — coordinating asset allocation and investment selection without trading authority — and operates on Charles Schwab’s institutional custody platform, which provides the firm with research and practice‑management services.

Mandala Financial Advisors LLC

We’re a different type of wealth management group. I founded Mandala Financial Advisors on the principal that progressive people deserve advisors who will guide them to financial success without compromising what they value - a sustainable and just world. Our clients come to us at all stages of life, each with a unique blend of circumstances and objectives. Yet they all share two traits: They value personal wellness and they are lifelong learners. Many are academics, nonprofit professionals, and business owners/entrepreneurs. Mostly women. They tend to be community-centric, compassionate, and follow the adage, “think globally, act locally.” Our mission is to: • Maximize the likelihood of your achieving your current and future financial goals. • Replace your stress over money with financial confidence and wellness. • Empower you to create positive social & environmental change. We use a holistic planning process that integrates all facets of your financial life into a personalized financial plan, a map to achieving your goals. We have found the ongoing coaching we provide is a key ingredient to ultimate success. We use a rigorous process for selecting best-in-class ESG (Environmental Social Governance) investment products to match your financial and sustainability objectives. We are a fee-only advisor which means our income is only from fees you pay us for services rendered, not from commissions investment companies pay some advisors for selling products. I have over 25 years of experience providing sophisticated and caring financial guidance to clients. I am a CFP® practitioner. My educational credentials include an MBA from University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business and a B.S. in Mathematics from Loyola University of Chicago. I’m passionate about community service, with a keen interest in the environment, human rights, and the arts. Years of experience in leadership roles on nonprofit boards taught me capitalism without conscience is flawed. I’m openly gay which taught me early on to embrace the things that make each person unique. I’m an outdoor and fitness enthusiast who likes to spend time hiking, skiing, and exploring. I’m a student of secular Buddhism, always growing and learning to be a better me. I encourage you to visit our website (https://mandala.financial) to learn more about Mandala Financial Advisors. We make it easy to schedule a complimentary, no-pressure, introduction meeting.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
