Our Story

About Us

Why We Exist

1st Financial Consulting Solutions was founded on a straightforward belief: everyone deserves access to honest, conflict-free financial advice — not just the wealthy, and not filtered through product sales incentives.

We've seen what commission-based financial advice does to people. Products sold for high commissions, insurance policies that don't fit, investment accounts that churn fees. We wanted to build something different: a firm whose only incentive is a happy, financially secure client.

Fee-only planning means we charge you for advice and nothing else. No commissions. No revenue-sharing with product providers. No percentage of assets under management that grows regardless of the value we add. Just a flat fee for the service we provide.

That structure changes everything — including the advice you get.

Our Credentials & Commitments

Our advisors hold CFP® (Certified Financial Planner) designations and are bound by fiduciary duty to every client we serve.

Fiduciary means we are legally and ethically required to act in your best interest at all times — not in the interest of any product provider, institution, or our own revenue.

We are members of NAPFA (National Association of Personal Financial Advisors), the leading professional organization for fee-only financial planners.

We carry errors and omissions insurance and maintain the continuing education requirements of our designations annually.

How We Work

Our Core Principles

🤝

Fiduciary Always

We are legally and ethically required to put your interests first. This isn't a marketing claim — it's a legal standard we maintain in every client relationship.

💬

Honest Communication

We tell clients what they need to hear, not what's comfortable. If you're off track, we'll say so clearly — and help you get back on track with a specific plan.

🔍

Long-Term Focus

We don't make decisions based on what looks good right now. Every recommendation is evaluated against your long-term financial health and goals.

Our Community

Rooted in the Community We Serve

We're a local firm working with real people in our community — not a national brand with a call center. We know our clients by name. We remember their goals from last year's review. When their life changes, we're available — not just during scheduled appointments.
