Carolyn Masline is a Burlingame, CA fee-only financial planner. CareGen Wealth Management provides comprehensive and objective financial planning and wealth management services to help women organize, grow and protect their assets through life’s transitions.

Carolyn Masline, CFP® is a Wealth Advisor and Founder of CareGen Wealth Management, LLC.
Prior to starting my own firm, I was a Vice President with Goldman Sachs, Personal Financial Management in their Silicon Valley, California office. I have worked in financial services since 2006 following an earlier career working in the aerospace industry. I’m a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER ™️ professional (CFP®️) and also hold the Accredited Behavioral Finance Professional ™️ (ABFP ™️) credential.
I started CareGen Wealth Management after listening to my clients express their worries and their dreams for the future. I wanted to sit right next to them, hip to hip, charting their bright futures together. During our time together, I listen to them describe what is in their hearts and minds and I integrate this information with an in-depth knowledge of personal finance to provide custom guidance.
Solving particularly complicated problems that involve time, money, investments, taxes, values, and relationships may be one of the most important things I do. I have these types of conversations with my clients in an office or at their home, and often I have these same types of conversations with my family and friends all over the globe. Whether that be the ski slopes of Park City, Utah in between movies during the annual Sundance Film Festival, walking the hills in my hometown of Burlingame, California or over a glass of wine during long weekends in Brooklyn, Phoenix, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, or Orange, California.
Working with clients on brainstorming ways that they can meet their goals and experience more joy in their lives is one of the favorite parts of my job. My ultimate goal is to empower my clients to believe in themselves, make the most of their resources, make smart decisions, and forge better financial outcomes for themselves and the people they care most about.
