Hi, I’m Crystal!

I’m the founder of Beyond Balanced Financial Planning, an independent fee-only practice dedicated to helping my clients gain clarity and achieve their financial goals. It was important for me to build a practice that allows those working towards financial freedom to build a solid foundation by providing valuable advice all while keeping it affordable.

Beyond Balanced simply means going beyond the balance sheet to live your life on your terms. We take the time to understand you, your situation, preferences, goals, and your personal money beliefs. There is no one-size-fits-all approach and we work together to design a plan tailored to your unique situation.

It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan.”  – Eleanor Roosevelt

OUR SERVICES 

FINANCIAL PLANNING

A financial plan is unique to you, it is dynamic and always changing. We get a plan in place and help you implement recommended tasks, stay on course and serve as a sounding board for when those inevitable changes happen.

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT

You are busy enough without having to worry about managing your investments. We invest using strategies that are rooted in academic evidence, not speculation. Portfolios are tailored to your goals and tolerance for risk.

EMPLOYER SOLUTIONS
If you're a business owner, we can help you start a new retirement plan or refresh an old plan you have in place. Additionally, we offer educational seminars for employees so they can maximize their available benefits.
