As the founder of Ellis Financial Consulting, I bring decades of experience to my independent practice. I hold the CFP® (CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER®) EA (IRS Enrolled Agent), CLPF (California Licensed Professional Fiduciary) and NCG (National Certified Guardian) designations, demonstrating my competence to handle complex wealth management, tax strategy, trust administration, and professional fiduciary duties with the highest standard of care.
