I help a select group of clients build, manage, and protect their wealth placing the utmost importance in customized planning. My process always begins with listening – listening to and listening with my clients: understanding their current situation, their past experiences and what they want for the future.With the information clients share with me, I go to work – studying, testing, analyzing, and modeling solutions and strategies to help them achieve their objectives.I earned my undergraduate degree in Accountancy and a master’s degree in Tax Accountancy from the University of Notre Dame, and as a CPA formerly practicing at PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP in Houston, you could easily conclude that I’m a numbers person, and you would be right. However, I also majored in Philosophy which taught me to think, to reason, and to view my work holistically. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional, I am a financial coach and problem-solver providing personalized investment planning services to my clients in the areas of Investment Planning; Retirement Savings and Income Planning; Non-Portfolio Risk Management and Insurance; Liability Management; and Estate and Tax Planning Strategies*.Conversations about money can be difficult, whether between spouses, parents and their children, adult children and their aging parents, or between business partners. I foster a safe, confidential, and nonjudgmental listening space for clients and help them balance reason with emotions and feelings. * Our firm does not offer tax or legal advice.Please contact me by e-mail brian.carrion@wellsfargoadvisors.com or by phone 713-599-6738.
