Seth KaplanCFP®, CDFA™, CFFA

Seth Kaplan is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ practitioner, with over 14 years of financial planning and investment management experience.  He is also a holder of the Certified Divorce Financial Analyst™ designation, and he is involved in various financial planning and divorce financial analyst professional groups. 

As a CFP® practitioner, Seth has a client-oriented approach to wealth management. His primary focus is on comprehensive financial advisory services—incorporating budgeting and cash flow management, investment and retirement planning, lending services and risk management, along with estate planning and wealth transfer strategies. To this end, he often coordinates with his clients’ CPA’s and attorneys to help make sure that they act as a cohesive unit.

Seth is very process oriented, recognizing that the success of a financial plan is dependent on much more than simply managing investments. By developing a deep understanding of his client’s personalized goals and unique family dynamic, he can help ensure that financial decisions are consistent with each client's objectives and risk tolerances.

In addition to working with traditional financial advisory clients, Seth specializes in divorce-related financial matters as a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst™. He works with divorcing individual’s—and their attorneys—by educating them on financial matters related to divorce, and by helping them determine the short- and long-term financial impact of proposed settlement offers. 

A California State University of Sacramento graduate, Seth is a firm believer in the value of ongoing career-related education. He has earned the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification, Series 7, 9, 10, 63 and 65 security registrations, and is licensed for life, health, disability and long-term care insurance coverage.  Seth has also received the Certified Divorce Financial Analyst™ designation from the Institute for Divorce Financial Analysts, and is trained in divorce mediation and the collaborative divorce process.
