About Us

About UsContinuing the legacy of excellence and commitment

The team was founded in 1984 by Andrea Renaud. A teacher by trade, she found a true calling in financial planning and built a team around her as the practice evolved. Andrea officially retired at the end of 2019 and transitioned her legacy to her daughter Kristen Renaud and her business partner Julie Garcia. Recently they brought on another partner, Bryan Costilla, who they have directly mentored for almost his entire financial career. Between the three of them, they have almost 40 years of industry experience.

Kristen and Julie are proud to be women owners and leaders in an industry that often needs more diversity and representation. Working with women, minorities, and underserved communities has been a priority from the very beginning. Our core values of integrity, veracity, and generosity are solidified in our culture and drive the relationships we developed within our community. Our mantra is “We Invest in You” because we believe in the power and potential of our clients and the importance of service and support.
