My mission is to educate and empower people born in the 80's and 90's so that we can master our money and craft a life that we never want to retire from. - Devin Faddoul, CFP®

Helping young people eliminate money worries and achieve their goals with flat-fee financial planning and investment advice.

Devin Faddoul is a Pittsburgh-based flat-fee financial advisor serving clients across the country.

MY PHILOSOPHY

Who

Rather than serving pre-retirees with millions, I work with young people, regardless of how much money they have. This is made possible via a flat, transparent, and simple pricing model. Clients will never pay a percentage-based fee or a sales commission, ever.

What

Investment portfolios are very important, but aren't the only thing. Instead of focusing on market performance, I help with every aspect of my clients' financial life, acting as a guide for all of life's events. It's comprehensive planning and investment management done right.

Where

I am based in Pittsburgh, but work with client across the country. Most meetings are held online, whenever it fits in your schedule, even nights and weekend. No commuting, no parking, no bad coffee.

Devin Faddoul, CFP® is the Founder of Adda Financial, a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, a member of the Financial Planning Association (FPA), and a registered financial advisor with the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA).
