Kevin O'Reilly, CFP® is a principal and fee-only financial planner at Foothills Financial Planning located in Phoenix, AZ.
Foothills Financial Planning was started in the Ahwatukee Foothills of Phoenix with a simple mission: provide high quality, commission-free financial planning to people from all walks of life, regardless of net worth and annual income. If you are an individual or small business that is looking for professional, objective financial advice, come learn how we can help you make personalized financial decisions that make sense for you.
Our fee-only financial planning advice provides ongoing investment management with no incentive to buy specific products. You receive independent, objective financial advice from an advisor whose interests are aligned with your own.
As a licensed Investment Advisor in Arizona, Foothills Financial Planning is held to a fiduciary standard. That means we must provide objective financial advice that is in the best interests of our clients. It is our legal obligation. Unlike most financial advisors, we operate independently and don't receive commissions for selling specific products, so our recommendations are based solely on your needs. We do our best to avoid all conflicts of interest, so we can remain focused on your future.
Before founding Foothills Financial Planning, I earned a degree in finance from Indiana University. Afterwards I worked in software development, technology management and corporate finance. The software I created for Intel, Nuveen Investments, and other financial and tech firms provided me with valuable industry knowledge and firsthand experience that I now use to provide quality, comprehensive financial planning for professionals in these fields. I understand the challenges and pressures facing technology professionals today, and will work closely with you to help you achieve a full financial life.
I rounded out my perspective and expertise in investment management and financial planning with an MBA from Arizona State University, and completion of the financial planning certification program at Boston University, which led to my CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ status. I have served as an officer for the Financial Planning Association of Greater Phoenix, the Indiana University Alumni Club, and served various roles on the youth hockey scene in Phoenix.
