Why Zhang Financial?
At Zhang Financial, we believe financial advisors should be knowledgeable, financial advice should be objective, and fees should be reasonable and transparent. Most importantly, we believe we should always act in your best interest. Families across the nation trust us to guide their financial futures—here's why:
1. True Fiduciary Standard—No Conflicts, No Compromise
The SEC fiduciary rule requires advisors to act in the best interests of their clients and disclose conflicts of interest. At Zhang Financial, we believe mere disclosure isn't enough. We operate on a Fee-Only model, which eliminates conflicts of interest that can arise from selling proprietary products, engaging in principal trading, receiving third-party payments, revenue sharing, commissions, kickbacks, or soft dollars.
2. Nationally Recognized Leadership and Highly Credentialed Financial Professionals
Led by Charles Zhang, ranked the #1 Independent Advisor in the U.S. by Barron's in 2024*, Zhang Financial has built a decades-long track record of excellence. Our financial professionals hold prestigious designations such as CFP® (Certified Financial Planner™), CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst), CPA (Certified Public Accountant), and JD (Juris Doctor).
3. Personalized, Holistic Planning.
