Celeste Mirassou, CFP
I'm Celeste Mirassou, CFP®, RIA, an independent financial planner. I offer my financial planning and budgeting services on a project or hourly basis - only. I am compensated only by you, so my focus is on your specific needs and budgetary requirements. My loyalty is only to you. I receive no commissions for products.
I am also a Registered Investment Advisor. I provide objective and affordable solutions for investors looking for cost-effective help with investing. I focus on your needs, with no management fees based on "minimum" investable assets.
Everyone has different needs. I have found that's definitely the case when it comes to finances. Some of us wonder how we should invest our money. Others worry about how to save enough money to invest. Some of us are concerned with buying our first home. Others wonder about selling a home when they retire. Still others are wondering if they ever can retire!
No matter what your financial questions may be, I believe the best way to get reliable, practical and objective answers is to work with a financial planner.
The bottom line - no matter what the issue - is that I want to work with you to find a solution. As a problem-solver, it is my business, and my passion, to make a difference and touch lives by giving my clients the tools they need to manage their money with ease.
Sound good? All it takes to get started is a phone call, or an email, or a click on the link above. I look forward to talking to you about your financial goals, issues, and problems. Working together, I know we can get you to where you want to be.... See More

Katy Song, CFP, MBA
Financial planning is for everyone - not just the very wealthy. Determining financial priorities and setting short- and long-term goals is critical for every couple or family who wants to be confident that they are making the right financial choices.
As a Marin based Financial advisor and Certified Financial Planning™ practitioner, I focus on families with young children and couple starting their lives together. These are critical years, where we are starting families, buying homes and growing our earning potential. Without good planning, it's easy to miss out on big opportunities that will help us make the most of our financial resources and ensure that we are not only enjoying life today, but that we are on track to meet bigger life goals.

I create a customized financial plan that covers all aspects of your financial life, driven by your family's values and goals. In short, I put the pieces of the puzzle together so you have a complete understanding of your financial picture and what it will take to reach your financial objectives. Through ongoing coaching, I provide the support and advice needed to successfully implement your financial plan. And as life changes, so does your plan. My goal is to be your trusted advisor throughout this stage of your life and future stages.
As a fee-only financial planner, my recommendations are objective and driven by what is best for your family. Each of my clients has different motivations. It is my job to help align your spending and saving with your goals, educate you on all aspects of your financial life, and give you a road map to achieving the financial future you want....

Financial Perspectives is an independent, fee-only financial advisory firm with two offices conveniently located in the San Francisco bay area. We provide unbiased advice for every aspect of your financial life. Recognizing that everyone is unique in their needs and desires, we take the time to get to fully know and understand what is important to our clients. Above all, we pride ourselves on maintaining long-term, lasting relationships built on integrity and fostered by trust.

As a provider of broad-based financial advice, our primary focus remains on retirement and investment management. Through our specialization in these areas, we bring our expertise to bear on helping clients achieve the core wealth objectives of asset accumulation, capital preservation, income generation and the worry-free transference of wealth.

With the frantic pace of today’s lifestyle, people may find they have neither the time, inclination nor knowledge base to best handle the financial aspect of their lives. Unfortunately neglect can be detrimental to the success of obtaining your objectives. Ultimately we provide clients with the freedom to concentrate on the more important things in life – like family, personal success and the pursuit of their own passion – while we spearhead the endeavor of meeting their financial goals.

The recent market collapse has left investors facing an uphill battle. Losses in their accounts have left them questioning whether or not they can meet their financial goals. As a result, people are looking to protect the assets they have left and limit future losses. We have entered an unprecedented time in history that is comparable to nothing we have experienced in the past. To survive and thrive, one will need to be open to new ideas that are forward thinking and will address what lies ahead. What has worked in the past will not necessarily be successful going forward. As such, we offer unique perspectives and strategies to help you guide you through this uncharted territory.... See More
