Your Career Was a Mission. Your Retirement Should Be an Adventure.
Financial planning and investment management for career professionals in the U.S. Forest Service and other public lands agencies.
You've dedicated your life to stewarding our nation's wild places and have built a legacy of work etched into the American West. But as the end of a long and decorated career comes into view, a new set of questions arises—ones that shift from your professional mission to your personal one:
How do you ensure the financial legacy you leave for your family is as significant as the professional one you're so proud of?
After a lifetime of service, how do you design a retirement that is not an end, but the beginning of your next great personal adventure?
My name is Catherine Kirchner, and I serve as a financial advisor for the career professionals who have dedicated their lives to our public lands. My work is grounded in a deep respect for the land—a value I know many of us who live and work in the American West share. My philosophy of long-term stewardship was forged through years of operating a regenerative farm. This experience gives me a unique perspective on the patience and foresight required to cultivate sustainable growth and build a lasting legacy for the families I serve.
Navigating the transition to retirement shouldn't be complicated. Our process is simple:
Honor Your Legacy: We start by understanding the values that have driven your life's work.
Build a Clear Roadmap: We turn your federal benefits into a durable plan for financial independence.
Design Your Next Adventure: We ensure you have the resources to fully enjoy the freedom you've earned.
Imagine a retirement where you have complete confidence in your financial future. A future where you have the freedom to travel, the resources to support your family and favorite causes, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your life's work has been translated into a lasting personal legacy.
