BlackBird Finance Joins NAPFA and FeeOnly Network, Elevating Financial Planning Standards

BlackBird Finance, a virtual financial planning firm based in Pagosa Springs, Colorado, has recently joined the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA) and the FeeOnly Network, marking a significant milestone in its mission to provide transparent and high-quality financial guidance. This membership not only distinguishes BlackBird Finance as the only firm in Pagosa Springs to be part of these prestigious organizations but also fills a critical gap in the local market by offering residents access to financial advice free from commission-based recommendations.

NAPFA, recognized as the premier association for Fee-Only financial planners in the U.S., requires its members to be compensated solely by their clients, ensuring advice is given without the influence of third-party incentives. Similarly, the FeeOnly Network connects consumers with advisors committed to transparent, client-focused services. BlackBird Finance's inclusion in these organizations highlights its adherence to the highest ethical standards and its dedication to minimizing conflicts of interest.

Nathan Mueller, MBA, CFP®, and Founder of BlackBird Finance, shared his pride in this achievement, emphasizing the firm's alignment with NAPFA and the FeeOnly Network's values of independence, transparency, and integrity. This development assures clients that BlackBird Finance's advisors are not only Certified Financial Planner® practitioners but also committed to ongoing education, ensuring they provide the most current and comprehensive advice.

Specializing in services for outdoor enthusiasts, young families, Generation XY, and professional extreme sports athletes, BlackBird Finance offers tailored financial coaching, planning, and investment management. Its new affiliations with NAPFA and the FeeOnly Network provide both local and virtual clients nationwide with confidence in the quality and impartiality of the financial guidance they receive.

This milestone is particularly impactful for the Pagosa Springs community, introducing a higher standard of financial planning services to the area. It also reflects the broader trend of virtual firms delivering personalized, high-quality services irrespective of location. BlackBird Finance's commitment to fee-only, client-centric planning not only fosters long-term trust with clients but also positions the firm as a leader in advocating for more transparent practices across the financial planning industry.
