Why Brooklyn FI?


First, the boring stuff.

We're fee-onlyfiduciarycomprehensive financial planners. That's a lot of buzz words that basically mean we put our clients' interests ahead of our own at all times (emphasis necessary), we survey your whole financial picture before making recommendations and we only get paid by you, the client, which means we have no ulterior motives. You can even download our pledge to be fiduciaries here. We dig transparency, and we welcome you to ask us all the tough questions.

Now, the fun stuff.

The F.I. in Brooklyn F.I. stands for Financial Independence. The central idea at the core of our planning practice is that money is just a tool to live your best life. 

We know something most financial advisors and planners don’t know—that a passion is more important than a salary. We like to think that we specialize in turning side-hustles into nest eggs.

As financial planners we seek to provide a holistic picture of your net worth and a path to financial independence at any age. We’ll take care of everything from raising your credit score to funding your retirement.

By becoming a Brooklyn FI client you're joining a network of creative professionals who are succeeding, not just scraping by.

Relax, we've got this.
