Expert financial advising is for everyone

Brian Blakeman, CFP^®

Founder & Financial Advisor

Hi, I’m Brian.

I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER^® professional and fee-only financial advisor based in Sammamish, WA, serving clients locally and around the country through virtual meetings. Being a fee-only advisor means that I do not accept commissions, referral fees, or compensation of any kind based on selling financial products.

At Onward Financial Advising, I differentiate myself through transparency, fiduciary responsibility, and a flexible fee structure designed to meet my clients’ needs. Unlike many advisors who primarily charge based on assets they manage, I primarily charge on an hourly basis. This approach allows me to provide professional financial advice without the constraints of asset-based fees.

As a fiduciary, I am committed to acting in your best interest at all times. This commitment extends to advising on all aspects of your financial situation, including optimizing employer retirement accounts and offering comprehensive financial planning services. Whether you’re seeking a second opinion on your investments or looking for expert guidance as a DIYer, my hourly rates enable me to deliver personalized advice that aligns with your specific financial goals and circumstances.
