About
Elizabeth Gilmore, CFP, EA, founded Gilmore Financial Planning to work with DIY investors building toward financial freedom, from early planning through the move into retirement. She helps clients picture what is possible, map out the steps and then live it. As a fiduciary, she is paid only the flat, transparent fee they agree on, and clients keep full control of their accounts.
Elizabeth came to planning after corporate downsizing ended her career in healthcare data science. A friend pointed out that she had long been his sounding board on money, from a refinance to a market downturn. She pursued the CFP education to offer the advice she had always wished existed, outside the big institutions, and found a home in the Advice-Only Network.
She races in US Rowing masters regattas and goes on adventures with her husband, four boys and two dogs. Their family budget has categories for rowing and camping gear.
