She also advises executives and corporate professionals with equity compensation, helping them integrate stock options, restricted stock/RSUs, and employee stock purchase plans (ESPPs) into a broader financial plan. Her work often centers on key decisions such as timing and liquidity planning, managing concentrated positions, and coordinating tax-aware strategies in partnership with each client’s tax professional.

Clients appreciate her ongoing relationship model, which includes proactive planning and regular reviews as goals evolve, life changes, and markets shift.

As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional, Yesica is committed to the CFP Board’s high standards of ethics and professional conduct.

Your CFP® Advantage

Yesica is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™. CFP® practitioners are qualified to help individuals pull all their finances together, find ways to help solve financial problems, and make a plan to help achieve their financial goals. This certification requires an extensive curriculum of training, a comprehensive exam, hours of industry experience and strict adherence to ethical standards.

Most people think all financial planners are "Certified," but this isn't true. Just about anyone can use the title "Financial Planner." Only those who have fulfilled CFP Board's rigorous requirements can call themselves CFP® practitioners.

CFP® practitioners are held to strict ethical standards to help ensure financial planning recommendations are in your best interest. What's more, CFP® practitioners must acquire several years of experience related to delivering financial planning services to clients and pass the comprehensive CFP® Certification Exam before they can call themselves CFP® practitioners.

Financial planning is a dynamic process. Your financial goals may evolve over the years due to shifts in your lifestyle or circumstances such as an inheritance, career change, marriage, house purchase or a growing family. As you begin to consider how best to manage your financial future, you should feel confident knowing that with CFP® practitioners, you are working with someone committed to providing the highest level of financial planning.
