You've been diligent about saving, but you're not sure if you're doing enough.

You've maxed out your 401(k), built solid savings, and made smart career moves. 

But now as retirement gets closer, you’re feeling unsure… 

  • Can we actually retire when we want to? 

  • Should we be doing more with our money? 

  • Is there a better strategy we're missing?

You're busy. You know enough to be dangerous, but you don't have time to give your wealth management the attention it deserves.

That’s where we come in.

We give you the space to focus on what matters most to you, knowing your finances are aligned with your values and optimized by a trusted expert.

When your finances are organized and aligned with your values, something shifts.

You sleep better. You stress less about market volatility. You make life decisions—whether it's retirement timing, supporting family, or pursuing what matters most—with clarity instead of fear.

Our process

We create real value from day one, and build on that foundation as you grow.

  • We start with a one-hour strategy session to learn about your situation, answer your questions, and determine if we're a good fit.

  • We create a holistic wealth management plan tailored to your specific situation, complete with clear explanations of what we're doing and why.

  • You can implement your plan yourself or work with us for ongoing management. If we work together long-term, we’ll provide proactive guidance and regular check-ins.

What Makes Coriander Financial Group Different

Coriander Financial Group was founded by Charlie Cook, CFP®, CPA, after she saw a need for a more holistic approach to financial planning—one that goes beyond just portfolio management. When looking at portfolios in a silo, it’s common for clients to be labeled by their metrics and put into a bucket to receive cookie-cutter advice that doesn’t take into consideration their individual life circumstances and values.

At Coriander, we believe there is a better way to approach financial planning—one that honors both our clients’ intelligence and their humanity. We create a portfolio specific for you, factoring in your risk tolerances, goals and preferences. We provide clear explanations of what we're doing and why. 

This is your hard earned money and you deserve to know the process behind your investment strategy.

As both a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® (CFP®) and CPA, Charlie brings a unique perspective that integrates tax strategy with investment management, something most advisors don’t offer. 

And what’s more: she’s the advisor who actually returns your calls, explains things clearly the first time, and treats your financial wellbeing as seriously as you do.
