Cindy Alvarez
Hello 👋🏼 I'm Cindy. I work with a diverse group of clients to help navigate complex financial decisions by offering personalized financial and tax planning strategies. I help with decision-making when it comes to the more simple tasks of how to fund home down payments, when to take Social Security, how to exercise stock options, when to sell a business, and how to financially navigate divorce. There are more complex tasks that require tax and estate planning strategies where private market investments come into play.
‍
I cultivate strong relationships with my clients by actively listening to their needs then applying recommendations through planning. Trust is vital, and I’m committed to collaborating closely to help bring confidence and help clients achieve their financial goals.

“While investments are an important aspect of what we do, the true value comes from earning my clients’ trust—especially in times of uncertainty. It’s both a pleasure and an honor to be the first person my clients turn to when life takes an unexpected turn.”

Drawing on her extensive background in marketing and communications, she blends her investment experience with a commitment to keeping clients informed and engaged. From the initial onboarding process to regular reviews and ongoing check-ins, Cindy ensures that strategies remain aligned with clients' long-term goals, adjusting as life circumstances evolve.

Outside of her professional life, Cindy is dedicated to her family. She cherishes spending time with her two children, who each live on different coasts, and enjoys traveling with them to explore the great outdoors through hiking, camping, and experiencing the beauty of the mountains.
