Award Winning Wealth Advisor Team

Douglas Finley, MS, CFP, AEP, CDFA

Fee-Only Wealth Advisor

Doug, after nearly a decade in the financial services industry, founded Finley Wealth Advisors in February of 2006 as a fee-only fiduciary. Above all, his goal was to create a wealth management firm that would eliminate the conflicts of interest inherent in the typical advisor/client relationship. Consequently, the firm is still one of only a handful of Fee-Only Fiduciary firms in Southwest Florida. As a result, he created a firm that is dedicated to putting your interests first above all else. Therefore, the firm is markedly different from the fee-based brokerage firms.


Amber Braatz, MBA, CFP

Fee-Only Wealth Advisor

Amber has a passion for helping people achieve financial and life goals. Therefore, she chose to join Finley Wealth Advisors because of the firm's fee-only fiduciary culture of always putting the client first at all times, in all matters. Moreover, the culture meshed well with her desire to help others accomplish their dream of a financially secure retirement. Specifically, she is driven to provide the highest level of service to others. Furthermore, Amber believes that working in a fee-only fiduciary model is the only way for her to truly align her values with working in the financial services industry.
