If money and how it works is a mystery to you, get ready for illumination! Do you long to create the financial life of your dreams, but feel clueless? It’s time to fashion a brand-new “Money You!” A pioneer in challenging people to recast their relationship to money, our firm’s founder, Cynthia Fick, is known for her humor, honesty and ability to deliver meaningful financial guidance through easy-to-understand conversations about all things financial. Financial success for individuals, couples, and families relies not only in how they manage their money, but in how they manage their beliefs, attitudes and actions about money. Cynthia is an Investment Advisor Representative, one of the highest levels of fiduciary responsibility in the industry, with almost 30 years of experience in the field of finance and investing. She is a fee-only advisor which means the customized financial life plan she crafts for each client is focused on growing assets that are not linked to commissions. Cynthia Fick and the FLP firm help individuals, couples and small groups through the firm’s Six Stage Process which includes a Life Empowerment Plan along with a Plan of Action. During the process, she will examine any stumbling blocks. Cynthia educates you on your current risk, potential unknown fees and possible tax tips that will save you money. She then helps you discover investments that can safely earn higher rates of return, and teach you about safe, stable income. We EDUCATE and EMPOWER our clients, so that they leave feeling wiser and more trusting of their own intuition about money. Cynthia was named one of the Top 3 Financial Advisors in our community. In the ever-changing world of the financial industry, she was honored to be noted as one of the top professionals in her field three years in a row. Local media have long counted on Cynthia’s financial planning knowledge for the “What They’re Buying Now” column of The Arizona Republic, articles for the Ahwatukee Foothills News and her ongoing column for the Arizona Republic. She is a regular guest on TV shows such as Good Morning Arizona, ABC 15’s Sonoran Living and Smart Family.

NANCY HETRICK, CDFA®
SENIOR DIVORCE ANALYST
In 2007, Nancy Hetrick went through a less-than-optimal divorce and became inspired to provide financial support to those faced with the same challenges. She left Schwab in 2011 and started her second company, Smarter Divorce Solutions, to specialize in the financial intricacies of divorce.
“Divorce happens but it does not have to be slash and burn devastation. I help couples put closure on their relationships with honor and respect, providing financial guidance to ensure that their settlements are structured so that BOTH parties get to keep more of their own money!” Nancy says.
In 2014, Nancy began teaching and training financial advisors all over the country. She is an expert on how to create similar niche businesses, and she is the founder of The Divorce Financial Planner Training Center.
Having been in the industry for over 20 years, Nancy strongly believes that it’s time for a change in financial services. It’s no longer about product, commissions, charts, graphs and overwhelm. It’s about people, connection, and trusted guidance and partnership.
Nancy is passionate about lifelong learning and holds the following credentials: AWMA® Accredited Wealth Management Advisor, CMFC Certified Mutual Fund Counselor, AAMS® Accredited Asset Management Specialist, CDFA® Certified Divorce Financial Analyst and MAFF® Master Analyst in Financial Forensics®. She is Series 65 registered and previously held Series 7, 9 and 10 securities licenses.
