Hi, I’m Greg Brown. 

My mission is to help automotive professionals, engineers, and other career professionals make the most of their money with trusted, transparent financial advice. 

In 2011, I started Pathway Financial because I was appalled by the complexity and commission-based fee structures that dominated the financial advice industry. Many of my own friends and family felt they were always being “sold to” when they met with their advisor. And the conversation was filled with jargon they simply didn’t understand. 

There’s a better way. 

I provide a simple, transparent, Fee-Only financial planning service, built on proven investment strategies and personalized to each client’s needs. 

Bottom line: I answer the question, “How should I invest my money and plan intelligently for the future?” with trusted financial planning and smart investing so you can get more from your income and assets.

Greg Brown is a Member of the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors

The National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA) is a leading professional association of Fee-Only financial advisors - highly trained professionals who are committed to working in the best interests of those they serve.

NAPFA members live by three important values:

  • To be the beacon for independent, objective financial advice for individuals and families.

The Pathway Experience

Transparent.
Communication is a big deal to us, whether it’s about financial planning, investment details or our fees. Our clients hear from us frequently; via email, e-newslettters, blog articles, social media, annual check-in meetings, as-needed meetings, and any time you need to talk.

Fee-only with the highest Fiduciary Standard.
We don’t accept commissions from anyone and we won’t sell you any products. Our goal is to create long-term relationships built on trust and smart strategies that help you achieve your ultimate life goals. Our fees are simple – nothing hidden and no surprises. We chose to be legally held to fiduciary standard. Your interests always come first.

Pathway is personal.
We get to know you, your family, your concerns, fears, goals and dreams before we start your personalized financial plan. We then work with you one-on-one through the financial planning process — live, using our interactive software, on a large flat-screen, so you can instantly see changes and explore “what if” scenarios.

We answer your big financial questions:

  • When can I retire?
  • Am I saving enough for retirement and my kid’s college education?
  • Is my investment portfolio appropriate for my financial goals?
