Fee-Only financial planner located in Bellingham, WA, serving clients locally and across the state

 Elizabeth Snyder is a Bellingham, WA fee-only financial planner.  Trail Financial Planning LLC provides comprehensive and objective financial planning and investment management to help women, couples and small business owners organize, grow and protect their assets through life’s transitions.  As a fee-only, fiduciary, and independent financial advisor, Elizabeth Snyder is never paid a commission of any kind, and has a legal obligation to provide unbiased and trustworthy financial advice.

I am Liz Snyder. I am a financial planner, investment manager, and a mental health therapist. I enjoy working mostly with widowed or divorced women, as well as couples and small businesses such as health professionals to bring awareness to their financial lives. I assist people in getting their financial lives under control and on track so that they can worry less and enjoy their lives more. I will help you figure out what is important, create a plan with you and guide you along the way. I was raised in Bellingham and love living here with my two kids, and our dog. I enjoy being active, getting out and enjoying our geography – skiing and hiking in the mountains and playing in the islands. I wouldn’t chose to live anywhere else!
