About Me
My name is Matthew Pogirski. After working for a national brokerage firm for 5 years, I decided to become an independent financial planner because I wanted my compensation to be tied to the plans I provided instead of any commission-based investments/products. I believe that having the compensation match my ethical obligations to put the client first is the best way to ensure your financial planner is fully putting your interests first.I love helping clients achieve their goals. I believe we best achieve your goals by seeking to fully understand what is most important to you and who God made you to be.
I will work to be your ultimate resource, guide and motivator - the one to help you uncover what matters most and help you seek God first. Your faith, family, goals and God given vision will guide me in designing and implementing best strategies to help you. We will meet regularly to help make sure we are on track. I enjoy working alongside you with a team that includes your legal and tax professionals.
I worked my way through college, graduating debt-free. I earned both a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and a Master of Business Administration. I received the AAMS™ (Accredited Asset Management Specialist) designation in 2020. I received my CFP® (Certified Financial Planner™) designation in 2024. I am continually studying to improve and deepen my knowledge to provide you with the highest level of service possible.
My wife, Karlee, and I are proud to be raising our family's third generation of Alaskans. Our son, Alex (6), and our daughter, Noyona (4), keep us very busy. In our spare time, we love to hike, camp, fish and travel. We are grateful to have both sides of our family here in Alaska and love serving our community with them. We are actively involved in our local church.
I chose the name for my firm from the following verses: "Come to Me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. All of you, take up My yoke and learn from Me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for yourselves. Matthew 11: 28-29 HCSB
I would love the opportunity to discuss these verses with you and rejoice in who Jesus is.
While we love Alaska, our home, and helping fellow Alaskans; I also help clients across the USA. I look forward to meeting with you and starting the process of helping you.

About our Firm
Unburdened Financial Planning is a fee-only, faith based financial planning firm that focuses on helping clients achieve their financial goals.I founded Unburdened Financial Planning in 2023. An eternal mindset and biblical perspective form the foundation of my financial beliefs. With no products to sell or account minimums, I can work with all people and serve my clients as a fiduciary. Fiduciary duty entails always, not just some of the time, acting in the client's best interest, even if doing so is contrary to the firm's interest.
How I Can Help You
✔️ Investing: Strategize how to invest your money so you can reach your long term goals either on your own or with my help.
✔️ Budget: Develop a cash flow plan so you know where your money is going and can be intentional about your priorities, such as paying down debt.
✔️ Retirement: Figure out how you should be saving in order to retire comfortably without sacrificing too much of the present for the future.
✔️ Insurance: Make sure you have the most appropriate forms of insurance in place to protect you and your family from the curveballs of life.
✔️ Stewardship: Manage your money with Godly wisdom and generosity.
✔️ Family: Prepare for your family's future, whether a college education or your eventual passing.
