About Stacy Miller, CFP®, MQFP®, MBA

Stacy Miller, CFP® MQFP® is the Founder and CEO of BayView Financial Planning and a military spouse to a retired U.S. Army officer. It is due to her own financial insecurities after years of unemployment and underemployment as a military spouse that she decided to learn everything she could about personal finance and investing.

Stacy specializes in guiding and empowering women, widows, and military-connected families to invest in their own future financial security through the tides of life. Stacy is blazing a trail in the male-dominated financial services industry since only 6% of all financial advisors are female CFPs.

Stacy is a well-known and respected expert in the industry with features in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Barron’s, CNBC, and many other media outlets. She is a highly sought-after speaker focused on educating women and military/veterans nationally with her dynamic and engaging presentations at conferences and other professional events. She is a problem solver that has a way of communicating that is easy to understand and empathetic.

Stacy is a Certified Financial Planner® professional, a fee-only fiduciary, and is a member of the Military Financial Advisors Association (MFAA), National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA), the Financial Planning Association (FPA), the Fee-Only Network, and the XY Planning Network (XYPN). She has a degree in Sociology from Boston University and an MBA from Auburn University, where she graduated at the top of her class. She has obtained several certifications on her journey to become the expert in her field including Military Qualified Financial Planner (MQFP), Financial Planning for Women in Transition and Philanthropic Solutions in Financial Planning.

Stacy is an influential leader that has served 14 communities throughout her military relocations, and now, in her forever home of Tampa Bay, she is leaning in even more. From the President or Treasurer of several non-profits on each military base to her current roles, Stacy has been celebrated many times for her work and volunteerism over decades. Some of the highlights include the President’s Volunteer Service Award, issued by President Barack Obama, and the Outstanding Civilian Service Medal, issued by the U.S. Department of the Army, the Super Bowl LV Fans First Award, issued by the National Football League (NFL), and Shield of Sparta – Heroine of Infantry, issued by the National Infantry Association.

Stacy is an influential and respected leader in the financial industry representing a unique demographic as a female CFP and independent firm owner. Showcasing her passion for helping women, widows, military service members, and veterans, she is generous with her time and talent by volunteering, mentoring. and pro bono work. Her success has come through hard-work and aligning her values of integrity, compassion, and community with her goals.

Originally from Massachusetts, Stacy has visited all 50 states and has lived in many of them. She is mom to two Gen Z sons who followed her advice and graduated college debt-free. She lives, works, volunteers, and paddleboards in Tampa Bay, though she serves clients nationwide.

About BayView Financial Planning

At BayView Financial Planning, my mission is to guide and empower women, widows, and military connected families to invest in their own future financial security through the tides of life. I do not have a minimum asset requirement; I charge a flat hourly, project or subscription fee.

HOW WE HELP

We offer financial planning and investment management for a flat fee. We think a flat fee is the simplest and most transparent way to pay for your financial planning and investment management. We offer monthly, project, or hourly rates, based on complexity.

WHO WE SERVE

Women

Women have so much to deal with every day and when a new financial responsibility lands on our shoulders, we often feel anxious because we don’t know what we don’t know. We’re sometimes too ashamed to ask for help because while we’re ROCKSTARS in our own area of expertise, financial matters can be overwhelming.

Not investing in your future financial security is the riskiest decision you can make. Let BayView Financial Planning help you make those tough financial decisions so you can feel confident, organized, smart, and powerful. Then you can focus on your career, family, and living your best life.

Widows and Surviving Spouses

Becoming a widow is an emotionally challenging experience that brings significant financial challenges and responsibilities, especially if you were not the financial manager in the relationship. The loss of a spouse can be overwhelming. The greatest relief comes from a sense of organization, and from knowing that you have an ally who has your best interest at heart.

At BayView Financial Planning, we like to take it a few steps further though. We are aiming for peace of mind and empowerment; to learn as much as you want to learn, to help you teach your children financial literacy, and to create a plan that will help your beneficiaries have a much easier transition.

Military-Connected Families

Financial advice for military service members, veterans, and their families is extremely important because they have special benefits and special circumstances which require special training and expertise.

BayView Financial Planning is a certified Military Spouse Owned Enterprise. We are here to guide you toward future financial success. It is more than our patriotic service. It is our fiduciary duty.

✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Aug 11, 2025
I have known Stacy 30 years and she is an amazing person. When my life circumstances led to me needing to get a lot of unorganized financial information and accounts organized, I knew she was the one to lead me. I did not know where to begin, but she led me step by step, always asking questions to make sure what we were deciding to do aligned with my values, and also answering my questions so I would be able to understand what we were doing and why. I trust her to know the answers and find them when needed,

Stacy is the rare combination of a top notch professional and a compassionate and caring person that understands why these two qualities should go hand in hand. If you want a skilled advisor that sees you as more than a client I highly recommend Stacy.
