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.

We look beyond just investments. From retirement and tax strategies to estate planning and education funding, our in-house CPAs and estate planning attorneys work closely with our investment strategists to provide you with a personalized roadmap to financial success.

4. Unbiased Investment Approach

We give you open access to a world of low-cost, high-quality investment products. With no proprietary products, commissions, soft dollars, or kickbacks, our portfolios are research-driven and evidence-based, not sales-driven

5. Exceptional Service and Access

Clients receive direct access to senior advisors and proactive, personalized support. With over a 99% retention rate**, we build relationships designed to last a lifetime.

6. FEE-ONLY TRANSPARECY

We believe that how we are compensated matters. With no commissions or proprietary products, our interests are aligned directly with your success
