Comprehensive Financial Planning for a Flat Fee. Working Virtually and Accepting New Clients.

Jay Abolofia is a fee-only financial planner located in Waltham, MA serving clients in Greater Boston, New England and throughout the country. Lyon Financial Planning provides advice-only comprehensive financial planning on a fixed fee basis to help clients in all financial situations. As a fee-only, fiduciary, and independent financial advisor, Jay Abolofia is never paid a commission of any kind, and has a legal obligation to provide unbiased and trustworthy financial advice.

Jay Abolofia is a fee-only financial planner serving clients throughout the country.

When I told my daughter I was starting a business, she immediately said, “How can I help, Dad?” This simple question is at the core of everything I do. With every client relationship, meeting and question, I ask myself how can I help.

I approach personal finance with a compassionate, disciplined and analytical mindset. I'm a Certified Financial Planner™ professional and PhD Economist. I have been featured in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, CNN Business, Forbes, Consumer Reports and more.

When not helping clients, you’ll find me outdoors with my family. The name L-Y-O-N comes from taking two letters from each of my daughters’ first names.
