Timothy C. Whyte

Your money is important. It’s there to support your values and help you reach your goals. Whether you’re growing a business, getting ready to retire, or saving for your children’s college education, you want an advisor who will help protect what you have and build the legacy that’s important to you.

That’s where I can help. As a Certified Financial Planner®, I create custom planning strategies to meet your current needs and help you reach the financial future you seek – whether you’re facing challenges with estate planning, investment management, or planning for retirement. With more than 23 years in the industry, I have experienced all kinds of markets and have learned how to balance risk carefully. When it comes to investing, I focus on diversification and reallocation to help your portfolio weather market fluctuations when they arise.

I’ll be here for you and your family for decades to come. It all comes down to this: watching my clients’ dreams come true is the most rewarding part of my job – and I want to be there every step of the way.

THE CFP® PROFESSIONAL

Individuals certified by the CFP® Board have taken the extra step to demonstrate commitment and professionalism by voluntarily submitting to the rigorous CFP® certification process that includes demanding education, examination, experience, and ethical requirements. These four cornerstones set the foundation for the CFP® professional’s ability in helping clients achieve their goals.
    Icon Image
    Education
    The CFP® professional must develop theoretical and practical financial planning knowledge by completing 2 to 3 years of comprehensive coursework at an institution of higher learning approved by the CFP® Board. Once obtaining the CFP® trademark, their education does not stop, as continued education is part of the recertification process.
    Icon Image
    Examination
    The CFP® professional must pass the 7 hour comprehensive Certification Exam, which tests abilities to apply financial planning knowledge to real-life situations. The exam covers the financial planning process, tax planning, employee benefits and retirement planning, estate planning, investment management and insurance.
    Icon Image
    Experience
    All CFP® professionals are required to complete several years of experience related to financial planning services prior to earning the right to use the CFP® trademarks.
    Icon Image
    Ethics
    The CFP® professional is obligated to uphold the principles of integrity, objectivity, competence, fairness, confidentiality, professionalism, and diligence as outline in the CFP® Board’s Code of Ethics. The Rules of Conduct require the CFP® professional to put the client’s interest first at all times.
