Calen Griffin
Griffin Financial Planning
As a financial advisor, my number one focus is ensuring my clients are able to spend less time worrying about their financial questions and more time with their families. Being a physician means many hours of training and work which takes away from your time with loved ones. My experience in working with physicians - as well as being married to one - gives me the necessary experience and perspective to honor my client's time as best as possible while also navigating the complex needs of doctors. My primary focus is financial planning, not just selling you a product or portfolio. We will work together to identify your values, goals, concerns and dreams. From there, I will work with you to create a plan of attack for how to best navigate your financial life. Although many of my services have a fee associated with them, I offer initial conversations at no cost to determine if we're a good fit for each other.
