Chad Wilson, Personal CFO, CPA
I am a CPA that chose financial advice to optimize my life and to guide others to optimize their lives too. I
value the uniqueness of every financial plan as I walk side-by-side with clients to help illuminate their paths
and give clients confidence in their financial decisions. Together we navigate discussions around financial
planning that are critical but can be equally intimidating without a trusted financial coach.
I have also felt the aftereffects of what happens in life when families and business owners do not have proper
financial guidance or a plan in place. These experiences have created a mission in my work and I have centered my practice around thorough financial planning, intentionality, financial education, and life optimization under any scenario.
My team and I focus on advanced planning for families and closely held, family-owned businesses. We take our clients through a financial planning experience that helps to create financial balance and results in more
options to enjoy life today and for years and generations to come.
When not serving people like you, I enjoy being outdoors with my family. My wife, Katie, and I graduated from the University of San Diego and we have enjoyed exploring many of the best day hikes across our country’s National Parks, as well as Canada, New Zealand and Europe. In fact, we picked our son’s name, Ridge, while we were hiking in Glacier National Park. You can also find me watching sporting events and playing golf or tennis.
