Craig Austad, CLU®, CFP®

Hi 👋🏼 I’m Craig. I specialize in helping clients align their finances with their values, creating thoughtful strategies that can help reduce stress and elevate both personal and financial well-being. My goal is to help keep my clients focused on what truly matters to them.

Many of my clients are also part of the "sandwich generation," navigating the complex responsibilities of caring for aging parents, supporting children through college, and planning for their own retirement. With a clear financial strategy—especially one that includes a well-structured college planning process—education can feel more affordable, all while ensuring other financial priorities stay on track.
