Aaron Peloquin

Hello there! 👋🏼 I’m Aaron, a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ and CPA with more than 20 years of experience in the financial services industry - including over 8 years as a Wealth Advisor. I specialize in helping clients plan for financial independence through comprehensive, tax-efficient wealth strategies built around their unique values, goals, and life mission. My past experience as a consultant and risk management professional provided the foundation for the advisor that I am today. Those opportunities provided me with a broad perspective of the financial industry and helped to develop the skills necessary to analyze and assess my clients' financial goals and their needs as they seek financial independence.

Outside of work, I live  with my wife, Kristin. We love making the most of all four seasons, whether we’re biking and grilling in the summer, enjoying bonfires in the fall and spring, or exploring the frozen lakes in winter. We love to travel, soak in local cultures, and support causes close to our hearts, such as Make-A-Wish, Fishing with Vets, and the Minnesota chapter of the American Cancer Society

Get to know Aaron

As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER and CPA, I bring over 20 years of Financial Services experience, including over 8 years as a Wealth Advisor. I help clients plan for their financial independence by understanding their values, mission, and current financial position. I work with my clients to build a comprehensive and personalized wealth plan, by developing a trusting relationship through actively listening and understanding their families goals, investing experiences, and risks and fears. In building a comprehensive wealth plan we will assess the following eight pillars with a tax efficient approach:

  1. Family Goals, Values and Mission,

  2. Balance sheet,

  3. Budget/income statement, 

  4. Cash flow, 

  5. Asset Allocation (e.g., stocks, bonds, cash and alternatives),

  6. Asset Location (e.g., taxable, Tax-deferred, and tax-free),

  7. Risk management policies, and 

  8. Estate plan

My past experience as a consultant and risk management professional provided the foundation for the advisor that I am today. Those opportunities provided me with a broad perspective of the financial industry and helped to develop the skills necessary to analyze and assess my clients' financial goals and their needs as they seek financial independence. 

I currently live in Plymouth, MN with my bride, Kristin. With the four seasons in MN, we enjoy biking and grilling during the summer, bonfires with family and friends in the Spring and Fall, and biking and enjoying our lakes in the summer. Outside of our day jobs, we enjoy spending time with our family and friends and traveling the world, experiencing local cultures and taking in the amazing landscapes and experiences each location offers. We are also fortunate to be involved with some amazing non-profits. Kristin volunteers as a wish grantor with Make-A-Wish and I serve on the Boards of Fishing with Vets and the MN chapter of the MN Cancer Society.

How did you become a financial advisor?

My journey to becoming a financial advisor started with a conversation that changed my perspective. While working in corporate risk management, a close friend, who was also my financial advisor, noticed that I wasn’t truly fulfilled in my career. He pointed out that with my CPA background and passion for helping people, I had the skills to make a real impact as a financial advisor. At first, I brushed it off, but as more friends and colleagues echoed the same sentiment, I started to seriously explore the profession.

As I learned more, met with advisors, and saw firsthand how I could help families build a secure financial future, I knew this was the right path for me. Making the transition was one of the best decisions I’ve made. I now have the privilege of guiding clients toward their goals and dreams, and nothing is more rewarding than seeing the positive impact of a well-crafted wealth plan.

What types of clients do you work with?

I specialize in working with high-earning and high-net-worth clients interested in growing their wealth for their retirement, and their families with a comprehensive wealth plan. Having held leadership positions in corporate America, I enjoy working with business owners, senior management and executives to navigate the tax complexities that come with high income, RSUs, ISOs, and deferred compensation plans. 

What areas of expertise do you have?

My expertise lies in developing comprehensive wealth plans with a strong emphasis on tax efficiency, Social Security strategies, and estate planning. As a CPA, I leverage my background to help clients structure their finances in a way that minimizes tax burdens and maximizes long-term wealth preservation.

What types of strategies do you usually help clients with?

I help clients navigate and understand the complexities of the tax code and work alongside their estate attorney(s) to create the estate plans that match their wishes  while being as tax efficient as possible. My focus is on ensuring that their legacy is preserved. This may include using trust structures to remove assets from their estate prior to reaching Federal and/or State estate tax limits. By proactively planning, I can help my clients protect their wealth for future generations, while staying aligned with their long-term goals.

Is there a unique approach that sets you apart?

I take the time to understand my clients' values, goals, and what they truly need from an advisor. By building strong relationships and gaining insight into their unique circumstances, I can better create customized wealth plans that align with their financial objectives. My focus is not just on numbers, but on crafting strategies that reflect what matters most to my clients and their families.

What is your favorite part about working with clients?

My favorite part of working with clients is getting to know them and building trust-based relationships with each one of them. I enjoy getting to know each client on a personal level and understanding what matters to them. I also find great fulfillment in educating my clients on financial planning and tax strategies that help them save on taxes and achieve their goals. Seeing clients gain confidence in their financial future is what drives me every day.
