Meet Brandon Amaral

Amaral Financial Planning, LLC (AFP) is a fee-only Financial Planning firm based in San Jose, CA. We work with Millennials and Gen Z, specializing in first-time home buyers and tech workers.

I've always been passionate about personal finances and financial planning. After graduating from SDSU with a degree in Financial Planning, I spent some time working for a large Broker-Dealer and then transitioned to a boutique fee-only firm. I earned my CFP® and EA began to focus on the nuances of taxes and stock options.

As a first-generation college student, I quickly realized the importance of understanding your finances and saving as early as possible. I've spent the last 8 years working in the Financial Services industry and the past 5 years working directly with financial planning clients. I earned my BS in Financial Planning from San Diego State and hold both the Certified Financial Planner™ and Enrolled Agent designations. My goal is to provide affordable financial advice to all individuals and families. I want to help people go from confused and overwhelmed to confident and informed.
