Research shows that people with a financial plan have 2.7x the net worth of those who don’t. So, to help more women take control of their money — and their lives — our financial planning is built to be inclusive with affordable options, especially for Ellevest clients, who get up to 50% off all sessions.

Our all-women team of financial planners has years of experience helping women go after their goals: taking control of your money after divorce, knowing the smartest steps to take after a financial windfall, retirement planning, preparing to buy a home, and much more. Each planner holds the title of CFP® professional, or CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, aka the highest level of credibility in the industry. Not only do they bring a wealth of knowledge to every conversation, but they also truly want you to succeed.
