By blending economic principles with visual simplification, we can help achieve a coordinated and integrated financial model, in which decisions can be tested and measured.
Education and plain language are central to our work as fiduciary advisors. Your ability to understand and feel good about the plan we collaboratively design is paramount to its success and will provide a framework for future financial decision-making.
Our Story
Stalt Financial was formed after it's founders Chris Ball, Dan Zech, and Cat Toone became disillusioned with the product-centered financial industry.
Dan and Cat were former co-workers who stayed friends throughout the years. They spent many commuter hours discussing their views on how the financial services industry could better serve its clients. Dan and Chris were friends and officemates whose vision surrounding a true client-centered practice aligned on every point.
The three met to discuss forming their own firm, it was quickly apparent that this was a professional match made in heaven. Within months, Stalt Financial was up and running and ready to serve individuals and families they believe deserved better.
They have collectively been astonished at the amount of fun they've had while doing work that is unique, fulfilling, and beneficial to their community. They are so thankful for the opportunity to do what they love and serve you and your family.
