Get to know Michaela
Michaela, a Colorado native, earned her bachelor's in accounting in 2015. During her final year of college, she started working in the tax accounting field. Soon after graduation, she started working for a large financial firm in an accelerated career program designed to prepare her to become a financial advisor. Though she did not know much about finance when she began, she soon ended up becoming very passionate about the opportunity to do something that incorporated her growing financial knowledge while also being able to help people and make a difference in their lives through financial planning. In 2017, Michaela obtained her CFP® and became an associate financial advisor. She has been a financial advisor for over eight years and enjoys working with a dedicated practice of clients.Â
In her downtime, Michaela enjoys spending time with her husband and their six charming felines, engaging in art, yoga sessions, and hiking.

While working as a tax accountant, my boss's close friend recommended that I apply for an entry-level role at a financial firm. Though I hadn't initially planned on becoming an advisor, I soon discovered a passion for merging my proficiency with numbers with the rewarding chance to assist individuals in financial planning. I have now been in the industry for over nine years, helping clients with their financial goals and I look forward to helping you.
When I joined Savvy, I began a collaborative venture with my close friend, Colin Farr, who is now my partner as we join forces to assist clients. While I continue to support my individual clients, I look forward to working with Colin on future clients and supporting each other as we grow our business. I love working on financial planning and Colin is focused on keeping up to date on the markets and combined we want to help our clients achieve their goals.Â
I focus on tax planning and optimization because they are crucial aspects to consider when managing your finances. By strategizing efficient ways to minimize tax liabilities and maximize savings, my clients can plan for the future. Additionally, I also help clients with retirement planning, Investment management, and cash flow planning because they are essential for maintaining a healthy financial balance.Â
I specialize in supporting clients with investable assets of $1M and above as they prepare for retirement. I frequently assist with major life transitions like divorce, retirement, bereavement, and liquidity events. My passion lies in empowering women navigating these changes who seek knowledge and guidance. Guiding individuals through these shifts to the next phase of their lives brings me immense joy, as we collaboratively strategize for their financial future.

A significant portion of my client assistance revolves around tax optimization. This encompasses a wide range, from designing retirement income plans and optimizing asset placement to translating their objectives into innovative solutions that best serve their financial interests in the end.
I highly prioritize individualization and customization in my approach, firmly rejecting the notion of a one-size-fits-all method for my clients. Recognizing the unique qualities of each client motivates me to tailor my strategies to align with their distinct requirements and preferences. This personalized touch not only fosters stronger connections but also ensures that the services provided are truly tailored to meet the individual needs of each client.
I enjoy getting to see clients achieve their goals and finding peace of mind around their finances so they can ultimately enjoy their lives knowing they are secure. I also love getting to the point with clients where they trust me enough to introduce me to their kids and send along friends and family that I can also work with them to achieve their financial goals.
The culture, collaboration, and excitement the team has about what we do, I’ve never experienced anything like it.
