Tom Wareing, CFP®

Describe your perfect day?

Sleeping in with my wife (parents of young kids will get it!) on a beautiful early-spring morning, waking up and making some pancakes, bacon, and eggs for us, then spending time with our families, finishing up the day with a round of golf with some good friends and capping it with a nice dinner at home, steak, roasted sweet potatoes, asparagus, and a good show or documentary on Netflix.

What do you most like about your job?

Getting to know my clients to help them clarify what is most important to them and then planning accordingly so that their values and principles are aligned with their finances!

Surprise us, something we don't know about you?

I grew up playing many sports, but my favorite was rugby which I only played for a year on a college club team.

How long have you worked in Financial Services?

9+ years

About

Tom began his career in financial services the summer of 2016. Over the last decade, he has helped thousands of individuals and households navigate their financial picture through strategic and targeted advice. His favorite part of what he does is getting to know his clients personally, to understand what is most important to them, to help them consider things they were not yet even aware of themselves, and then help them achieve their financial goals. He focuses his approach on gaining a deep understanding of each person he works with to be able to tailor solutions unique to them. Most importantly, he aims to break down complex topics into simple, palatable terms that enable his clients to understand the “why” behind what he is advising and therefore have peace of mind in knowing that the plan in place is what makes sense for them. Outside of work, Tom is a new father, as he and his wife Kari welcomed their daughter Juniper November 2025. He is an avid golfer having competed during high school and his first two years of college. He and his wife love to travel and have a goal to visit at least one new place every year.
