Profession LogoFINANCIAL PLANNER

I am an independent, fee-only CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Professional based in Fremont, CA. I am a member of NAPFA (National Association of Personal Financial Advisors), XYPN (Gen-X, Gen-Y Planning Network) and Academy of Special Needs Planners.

Credentials: BS, MBA, CFP®

Languages: English, Hindi, Tamil, and conversational Marathi and Kannada.

Prior to my financial planning career, I was a technology entrepreneur based in the Silicon Valley. Out of curiosity and passion, I spent time reading and researching various aspects of personal finance. My passion towards financial planning ultimately resulted in pursuing formal education in Financial Planning.

I launched Encover Personal Finance in 2018, primarily to help other professionals achieve their financial life goals based on my own experience. I believe in serving clients honestly and transparently in a conflict-free manner.

For full disclosure, the firm neither sells any products nor earns any commission from providers because that represents a clear conflict of interest.
