About Gordon Achtermann, CFP®, CSRIC, MBA
I get it. Finding a Financial Planner that is a good match for you is not easy. The alphabet soup of credentials and terms can be confusing. I will take as long as you like to talk through all your questions because I know that an educated client is my best client. I have been fortunate to have served families and individuals from Alaska and California to Texas and Massachusetts and all over Virginia, Maryland and DC while based in Fairfax, VA. Why?
Because I have everything needed to be your guide in a changing landscape.
Like most firms, at Your Best Path, we provide comprehensive financial planning, retirement planning, and investment management to help our clients.
There are a few things about my practice that differ from the great majority of planners.
– The focus is exclusively on families in their peak earning years.
– I am a leader in Sustainable, Responsible, and Impact Investing (SRI), having received the CSRIC designation – the first-ever certification for study in investing while considering Environmental, Social, and Governance factors. Your portfolio will reflect your specific values, not just a cookie-cutter index from fund managers that don’t even vote their shares.
– I also have expertise developed over the years working with clients from many branches of the Federal Government, so I understand the intricacies of their various benefit programs.
– As of 1/1/2022, our average managed asset household had $4 million under our management. Why? I do not push asset management unless your situation is too complex for you to manage yourself or you prefer to delegate that activity.
– I serve individuals and families from all walks of life. Therefore, I have no minimums for planning or asset management.
