Brian Skaggs founded Skaggs Financial Planning, LLC in 2003 as a fee-only financial advisory firm, compensated solely for services to individual clients. He holds the strong conviction that comprehensive, bias-free services are critical in helping clients thrive as they meet their life goals in a manner both prudent and advantageous to the long term. Skaggs, a Certified Financial Planner, (CFP ®) offers services that cover all aspects of financial planning. Formerly, he was a licensed stockbroker, business development officer, and later served as a branch manager for the international TD Waterhouse firm. Frustrated with serving two masters, the corporation and then the client, Skaggs Financial Planning, LLC was formed to make client interests’ paramount.

During his time with TD Waterhouse, Skaggs was part of the development and implementation team that created an innovative program to assist investors in anticipating and meeting their future financial and lifestyle goals.

In addition, Skaggs earlier co-founded two successful businesses, including Advantage ATM Systems. He holds a degree in economics from the University of Washington. In his spare time, Skaggs enjoys travel, boating and SCUBA diving.
