Matt Johnson 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.
  • To be the champion of financial services delivered in the public interest.
  • To be the standard bearer for the emerging profession of financial planning.

Matt founded Defining Legacy Financial Advisors because he saw a growing need to reconnect families and their finances. For most Americans, family is a top priority; grandparents often provide childcare, adult children provide elderly care, and everyone helps pay for education.

As much as ever, families need each other, and Matt’s program is specifically designed to help prepare families for whatever comes their way. He relates to younger adults who are just starting out in their careers and building their families, yet brings deep financial expertise to those getting closer to retirement.

Whether you’re planning for your child’s education or your own retirement, Matt can help you meet your financial goals. He is approachable, experienced and highly pragmatic—everything you’ve been looking for in a trustworthy financial advisor.
