Get to know our team
Mary Strong
Financial advisor
Ever since high school economics, Mary has been fascinated by the power of finances. She's seen it bring freedom and empowerment — and at the same time, stress and anxiety.
The more she has worked with people, the more she has realized how hard it is to know if you're doing the “right” thing with your money. It’s confusing to know where to put savings, how much to contribute to retirement, and how to bring tax strategies into your planning.
And beyond that - money carries weight. It can affect your confidence, your relationships, and even your sense of self-worth. She strives to make financial planning a judgment-free space where you can feel safe to talk about all of it.
Her goal is to help you build a system that not only helps you make better financial decisions, but also helps you feel more at peace - about your money, your relationships, and yourself.
