Charlie Shipman is a Westport, CT fee-only financial planner. Blue Keel Financial Planning, LLC provides comprehensive financial planning, investment management, and estate planning to help business owners, professionals, and their families organize, grow and protect their assets through life’s transitions.

Charlie Shipman is a fee only financial planner at Blue Keel Financial Planning located in Westport, CT.

In 2014, I left Wall Street - where the focus is on making more money for the firm rather than the clients - to start my own firm. I wanted to help people who were turned away from big firms because of unpredictable income streams and/or limited investable assets. 

I launched Blue Keel Financial Planning to help our clients:

1. Invest smarter

2. Reduce taxes

3. Achieve alignment of business and personal goals

Since founding Blue Keel Financial Planning, I've contributed to several online financial publications, including: Investor's Business Daily, InvestmentNews, Money, Yahoo! Finance, CBS News, MSN, Nasdaq, The Motley Fool, Investopedia and U.S. News & World Report.

When I'm not perfecting financial plans or investment portfolios, you can find me on outdoor adventures with my wife and kids, kayaking on the pond, or trying to master a PGA Tour-worthy golf swing.

Plan better. Invest smarter. Together.
