About Belay Financial Services

A Note From Our Founder

I came up with the name for Belay Financial Services on a day when I went to a rock climbing gym with my kids.

We were watching some people climb the big rock walls while they were on belay. I had already been trying to think of what to name my firm at this point, but everything I’d thought of up until that point came up empty or didn’t feel quite right.


Our Primary Purpose

While watching the climbers, I noticed that the belayers on the ground were giving their climbers encouragement as they ascended the wall. You could tell that the encouragement worked – the climbers didn’t quit, even through the rock wall’s tough spots, because they knew that the person below was cheering for them to succeed. The belayers would give the climbers advice on what the next best move would be, because they could see the wall from a different angle – all while controlling the safety rope for the climber.

I realized that my practice puts me in a position where I can serve as a sort of financial belayer for my clients. I believe that people ultimately decide to work with a financial advisor to help reduce the potential for financial losses they may incur if they attempted to manage their financial household on their own. Just as a belayer ensures the safety and support of their climbers, I strive to ensure that my clients feel safe and secure in their financial futures, and that they can make moves to achieve their success while staying confident that they are making the best move.

I want to help my clients climb the wall all the way to the top, and I’ll be there to encourage and advise them for every rock they pass. I hope that you can join me on our journey, and I look forward to taking the next step by your side.
