Christian is an excellent financial advisor who goes above and beyond to educate his clients. His knowledge extends beyond investments into important areas like Social Security, which makes him an invaluable resource for anyone planning their financial future. Whenever I have clients with financial needs, Christian is the first person I recommend because I know they’ll be in great hands. He’s professional, trustworthy, and truly committed to helping people make confident financial decisions.

Looking for an all-around planner rather than investment sales/management, we found Christian West through Zoe Financial a few months ago. I am very happy to have found someone who can give solid advice on everything from budgeting to mortgage refi to retirement planning. It has been a weight off of my shoulders to get an honest assessment of the whole picture, a plan, and incremental changes to make going forward.

Josh is the best investment and financial CFP advisor I've ever worked with. I really wish I'd found him sooner. I now have an excellent and well organized financial plan with flexibility for adjustments, and my investments are suited for my age, risk tolerance, and years until retirement. It so happens that my returns have been higher than the many prior years I was with a mainstream consumer investment company with service levels going rapidly downhill. Even if that weren't the case, or in a protracted down market, I'd be happier working with Josh. He is responsive, knowledgeable, and willing to roll his sleeves up and help. He was in my circle of trust while I was experiencing several traumatic losses and life changes over the last several years. Josh was hands on with his help during this time, he was kind, and he kept my financial situation sound during life upheaval. I highly recommend Josh!

We have been working with Christian and Josh for the past year to improve overall financial health and optimize our tax, savings, and investing strategy to better prepare for the future. They are extremely knowledgeable, clear communicators, and trustworthy. We have been very satisfied and would recommend reaching out to them to see if they'd be a good fit for you too.
