Financial Planning
Natalie Berning, MBA, CFP®, CDFA®
Listening to you is one of the most important parts of my job. You’re trusting me with a critical part of your life and future—that’s not something I take lightly.
About me
My focus is on comprehensive financial planning. After spending time learning about your values and goals, I will work collaboratively with you to develop a plan that will serve as your financial roadmap. Then I will evaluate and recommend investment strategies that are appropriate within the framework of your individualized plan. My ultimate aim is to give my clients confidence knowing that they are on the path to achieving their short and long term goals.
Many of my clients ask how they can invest leading with their values and ideals. For those who are interested, I have access to a wide variety of sustainable investing options and had the honor of serving on the Raymond James Sustainable Investing Advisory Council.
My background includes a Bachelor’s degree and Master’s degree in Philosophy as well as a second Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) with a finance concentration from Portland State University. I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® (CFP®) practitioner. I also hold securities licenses Series 7 and 66 as well as Oregon Resident Life and Health Insurance License.
I am a native Oregonian, currently living in SW Portland with my family. In my free time, I enjoy trying new restaurants around Portland, staying active in the beautiful Pacific Northwest and spending time with extended family in the Willamette Valley.
