Francesca Vanderwall

I'm a financial advisor who helps individuals and families bring clarity, organization and confidence to their financial lives.

My path to this work was shaped early — after losing my mother at 13, I experienced firsthand how profoundly life can change in an instant and how important thoughtful financial guidance can be during difficult moments. That experience ultimately inspired my career in financial advising. Today, I work closely with clients to simplify complex financial decisions and build strategies that evolve with life. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional, I focus on helping people navigate major life transitions and complex financial situations. Many of the individuals and families I serve are balancing demanding careers, business ownership or significant life changes and are looking for a steady guide to help them make confident decisions. I'm also active in several community and professional organizations focused on leadership, philanthropy and local impact, and I serve on the board of This Girls Story, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering young women. I work hard to create a welcoming, judgment-free environment where clients can ask honest questions, organize their finances and move forward with confidence. My husband, Chris, and I are proud to be raising the sixth generation of his family in Plainfield, where we remain deeply invested in the future of our community.
