About PJ Gibbs, CFP®

Hi, I'm PJ Gibbs. I was first exposed to financial planning during college. At that time, I thought the only jobs were in traditional commission based roles. So, I went on the get my MBA and ultimately spent time working as a financial analyst for a Fortune 100 company. While there, I found myself spending more time reading and researching personal finance topics and discovered the idea of fee-only financial planning.

After obtaining the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designation, I spent the next six and a half years working for a regional Registered Investment Advisor before founding Trella Wealth.

When not helping clients simplify their financial decision making, I’m a dad to four kids. We’ve just hit the phase of life where most nights are spent shuttling the kids to baseball, soccer, and dance.

I’m lucky enough to have the most supportive & understanding wife who supports my mild (she may disagree how mild) golf addiction. I’m not good, but I’m determined to get better.

About Trella Wealth

Trella Wealth is a fee-only firm built to help working families take control of their money to build wealth their way. (The name Trella comes from my two kids Tripp (Philip III) and Ella.

I wanted to build a firm that allows me to help clients build their best life while also supporting mine.)

We offer services like retirement planning, tax-efficient strategies, and investment management, always prioritizing clients' unique goals. Trella Wealth operates on a fee-only basis, meaning we don't earn commissions from selling products, ensuring that the advice we provide is always in the best interest of our clients.

Our approach involves creating tailored financial plans that adapt to life's changes, with regular reviews to ensure clients stay on track toward their financial goals. We work closely with clients to help them prepare for retirement, manage their investments, and develop strategies for preserving and growing their wealth.
