Fee-Only Financial Advisor in Kirkland, WA
Helping Kirkland Tech Professionals Coordinate Investments and Equity Compensation
If you live or work in Kirkland and have RSUs, ESPP, stock options, or multiple investment accounts spread across employers and custodians, your financial life can feel fragmented.
Unleashed Financial LLC is a fee-only Registered Investment Advisor based in Kirkland, Washington. We work primarily with Gen X and Gen Y tech professionals across the Eastside who want coordinated investment management and ongoing financial planning.
This is not one-time advice. It is a long-term advisory relationship built around accountability, risk alignment, and practical implementation.
Wealth Management for Kirkland and the Greater Eastside
Many of our clients work in:
- Redmond (Microsoft and other tech employers)
- Bellevue
- Seattle
- Remote roles tied to West Coast tech companies
The common thread is complexity:
- RSUs and ESPP creating concentrated stock risk
- 401(k) plans that don’t align with brokerage accounts
- Tax questions around equity vesting
- Competing priorities like retirement, college funding, and real estate
We coordinate it all under a single strategy.

What Working With a Financial Advisor in Kirkland Should Look Like
Hiring a financial advisor is not about chasing performance. It is about clarity, structure, and responsibility.
At Unleashed Financial, that means:
- A coordinated, tax-aware investment strategy
- Ongoing risk management across all accounts
- Quarterly planning meetings
- Implementation support when decisions need to be made
- Fiduciary advice with no commissions
As a fee-only advisor, we are compensated directly by clients. We do not sell products, and we do not earn commissions.
Equity Compensation and Concentrated Stock Planning
Kirkland and the Eastside are home to thousands of tech professionals whose compensation includes:
- RSUs
- ESPP shares
- Stock options
- Pre-IPO equity
Equity compensation can build wealth quickly, but it can also distort risk if not managed intentionally.
We help clients:
- Decide when to sell versus hold
- Integrate employer plans with outside brokerage accounts
- Reduce unintended concentration
- Coordinate tax planning with vesting schedules
If your investment decisions feel reactive instead of structured, it may be time to bring coordination to the system.
