Let your money be a tool to live a flourishing life. - Christopher Wells, CFP®, CKA®, MS

A no-minimum, fee-only financial planner located in Southlake, TX, and serving clients across the country.

Christopher Wells is a Southlake, TX fee-only financial planner. Flourish Financial Planning provides comprehensive and objective financial planning to help clients organize, grow and protect their assets through life’s transitions. As a fee-only, fiduciary, and independent financial advisor, Christopher Wells is never paid a commission of any kind, and has a legal obligation to provide unbiased and trustworthy financial advice.

Hello! We are Flourish Financial Planning. A group of tax-focused Financial Planners with a vision to empower Christian familiessmall business owners, and pastors to use their finances as a tool to live a flourishing life.

An eternal mindset and biblical perspective form the foundation of our financial beliefs. It is important to address the heart behind your relationship with money instead of trying to force behaviors or plans. Not only does this lead to better outcomes, it is also Biblically supported by Jesus’ teaching in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) when He emphasizes the motives of the heart vs. outward action. See our Biblical Stewardship and Generosity Guide to see more of what we believe and how it affects our life.

In our team of financial professionals, we have the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER TM designation (CFP®), Certified Kingdom Advisor designation (CKA®), Enrolled Agent (EA), and Masters Degrees in Financial Services.  We are a Fee-Only Advisory Firm, meaning we do not get paid to recommend any financial product.

When I am not doing financial planning, I enjoy volunteering and leading worship with my wife, Lindsey. We live in Grapevine, TX and attend The Village Church.

Who We Work With


Christian Families

When seeking financial advice, it is important to have someone who is on the same page as you. Someone who comes from the same foundation. My foundation is the Bible, and that is the screen that filters the advice that I give. ​We take the time not only to assess the quantitative parts of your finances, but the qualitative goals, plans, and beliefs in your financial life. 

Small Business Owners

You work hard and put a lot of time, resources and effort into your business venture. Sometimes it is easy to neglect your personal financial life in the process of building your business. FFP is here to ensure you're making the most out of the life you've worked so hard for. We help business owners with tax projections and estimated payments, funding goals with uneven cash-flow, and much more.

Pastors

With unique tax situations, along with stressful challenges of understanding where your heart stands around money, FFP is here to help you make wise decisions about your money that are eternally focused. It can be easy to avoid money/finances in order to avoid greed or the root of all evil, but I believe a better worshipful response is stewardship, generosity, and praise for whatever financial situation you are in.

 

While there is not exclusivity to fitting one of these categories in order to work together, my advice comes from a Biblical and eternal perspective, that meshes well with Gospel-minded Business Owners, Pastors, and Christian Families.
