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.

Jane Beule, BA, CFP, MBA
Griffin Black, Inc. offers integrated, fee-only financial advisory services focused on helping clients improve the quality of their lives. Sound investment management is a crucial component of our practice, but it is only one part. We also help clients better understand and manage their personal cash flow. We help them analyze and, where possible, lower their financial risk. We seek to reduce the complexity as well as to improve the transparency of their finances, helping them "take back control" of their lives. Though our clients are all different, we specialize in working with professional & executive women (and their families) and small business owners.
Our clients typically have portfolios that range from $500,000 to $2,000,000. We can, however, accommodate younger clients who are working to accumulate an asset base. Though most of our work is done on a retainer basis, we are also happy to do project work for clients who may be looking for a more limited engagement. Please contact us if you would like to schedule a complementary one-hour consultation to discuss your needs.... 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....
