Fee-Only Financial Planner for Working Professionals in Portland, OR

You’ve worked hard to earn it. Now let’s make sure it’s actually working for you.

I'm Chris, a financial planner who kept the firm small so my clients don't get lost in it.

Cascara is one person by design. There's no service team to route you through, no junior advisor to hand you off to, and no parent company deciding what I'm allowed to recommend. When you call, you're calling the person who built your plan and can tell you why every piece of it is there.

I'm fee-only and a fiduciary, which means I don't sell products and I don't earn commissions. You'll always know who you're talking to and what my reasoning was.

Based in Lake Oswego, Oregon. Working virtually across the US.
