Access

A modern financial planning firm.
More CFO, less stock picker.

Most people think of a financial advisor as someone who only focuses on investments. The real value of a modern advisor is in looking across your entire financial life and acting on the things that actually move the needle for your future self.

That's where I come in. I view myself more as your personal CFO: coordinating cash flow, tax strategy, equity comp, investments, estate planning, and introductions to the right specialists all under one roof, by one person who knows your full picture.

As humans, we're wired for today. That instinct helped humans survive for a long time. But it works against us when we're trying to build wealth by pulling us toward the loud, dramatic moves and away from the smart, compounding ones. My job is to help you care about your future self as much as you care about your today self.

This matters most for high-earning professionals in their 30s and 40s, who are in the wealth-building phase and have historically been underserved by bigger firms. If I do my job well, you'll spend less energy worrying about money and more energy on the life you're meant to enjoy.

How Wealth Being is different

Typical Advisor

  • General planning
  • $1m+ asset minimums
  • No tax planning
  • Not always a fiduciary and paid by commissions
  • Not always a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) professional
  • Minimal contact & support
  • Old technology

Charley Edson, CFP®

You've worked hard, built a great career, and are earning more than ever, but you're still not sure if you're doing things "right" or in the most efficient way. That's where I come in.

I started Wealth Being Advisors based on everything I believe about money and life. I work with busy, high-performing professionals in their 30s and 40s who want to simplify, organize, and optimize their finances—so they can spend with confidence, invest wisely, and stop second-guessing themselves.

This isn't just about building wealth. It's about using your money to live fully now and in the future.

I'm not here to pitch you a 5-step plan to build an Airbnb empire. I'm here to help you create intentional money habits that support your version of a meaningful, wealthy life—whatever that looks like to you.

Ask a question
Do you have asset minimums?
No. I work with anyone who's serious about getting their financial life in order, regardless of net worth. Most clients are mid-career and somewhere in the early-accumulation to confident-builder stage.
How are you compensated?
I charge a flat 1% on assets managed. I do not receive commissions, kickbacks, or product fees. Ever.
Is the first call really free?
Yes. The first 30-minute call is a real conversation, not a sales pitch. I use it to figure out together if it makes sense to work together — and if not, I'll point you in a useful direction.
Do I need to be local?
No. I work with clients across the U.S. via video. I'm based in Hermosa Beach, CA — feel free to suggest a beach walk if you're nearby.
What does ongoing engagement look like?
Semi-annual check-ins, on-demand access between meetings, and a client portal that organizes everything in one place. Most clients trade dozens of small money decisions for a few intentional ones.
