Hello. We're Equalis Financial and we have the financial help you're looking for.
Our doors are open to all in addition to our expertise and specialized knowledge in working with particular demographics.
Focused whole-heartedly on the principle of equality, we're an independent, fee-only firm specializing in financial planning and investment management services for the LGBTQ community, women, and young professionals.
We believe such individuals deserve fair access to financial advisement that fits their unique needs with sexual orientation, marital status, or net worth appearing as no basis for discrimination. This is too often the case in the black-and-white world of financial planning, but not here. What sets us apart OUR IDENTITY
Equalis Financial was founded by a member of the LGBT community, a woman, and a once-young, now-experienced professional. Your needs will be attended to with compassion and understanding. FEE-ONLY and INDEPENDENT
This means we do not sell any investment products, represent any product or company, and do not receive any commissions. We work strictly for you and are paid only by you, setting us apart from some of the big guys out there.
It's also our fiduciary duty to do what's best for you, which requires us to put your interests ahead of our own. Seems like a no-brainer and a matter of decency, but it's unfortunately not the standard. IMPARTIAL

My goal is to be your accountability partner in developing and executing your personalized vision. Over the long run, this will save you time, money, and unnecessary stress so you can focus on what's truly important to you.
Investment Management
I'm proud to focus on sustainable investing so you can align your values with your money while investing in a better world. I never use expensive and opaque mutual funds or try to time the market. Through my rigorous research and years of investing experience, I have found that successful investment strategies are well-diversified, disciplined and keep costs low.
