About Guillaume Decalf

I am the Founder and CEO of We Financial Group, an independent, fee-only wealth management organization built on a simple belief: clients receive better advice when it’s delivered by specialists.

Financial planning has become increasingly complex. Retirement planning, taxes, investments, equity compensation, estate planning, business ownership, and international financial issues all require different expertise. Rather than building a firm that tries to be everything to everyone, I founded We Financial Group as a collection of specialized advisory brands, each focused on serving a distinct client community while sharing the same fiduciary standard, planning philosophy, and commitment to exceptional client service.

Today, We Financial Group includes:

Oui Financial, specializing in comprehensive financial planning for French and French-American individuals and families living in the United States.
We Financial Core, providing comprehensive wealth management for individuals, families, professionals, and business owners.
We Financial Focus, delivering targeted planning and advice for clients facing important financial decisions and life transitions.
We Financial Impact, helping investors incorporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) and impact investing principles into their long-term financial plans.
We Financial for Therapists, offering financial planning specifically designed for therapists, psychologists, and other mental health professionals.
Before entering the financial industry, I spent more than a decade improving business operations and decision-making. After earning my MBA in France, I worked as a management consultant before moving to San Francisco in 2010, where I joined companies including Amazon and Fitbit.

My own experience adapting to the U.S. financial system changed the direction of my career. Navigating retirement accounts, taxes, healthcare, education planning, investing, and estate planning made me realize how overwhelming financial decisions can be, especially when they span different countries and financial systems. As I helped friends and colleagues navigate similar challenges, I discovered a passion for helping others make informed financial decisions and ultimately founded the first advisory practice within what would become We Financial Group.

Today, I continue to work directly with clients, particularly those with complex planning needs, while leading the continued growth of We Financial Group and expanding its specialized advisory brands.

I am a Series 65 Investment Adviser Representative, a GFP Fellow specializing in cross-border financial planning, and hold the RIADAC Certificate in Blockchain and Digital Assets.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and competing in endurance running events. Endurance sports have reinforced many of the same principles I apply to financial planning: discipline, preparation, patience, and a long-term perspective.

About We Financial

We Financial Group is an independent, SEC-registered, fee-only wealth management organization dedicated to helping clients make confident financial decisions throughout every stage of life.

Unlike traditional advisory firms that operate under a single brand, We Financial Group brings together specialized advisory practices that serve different client communities while sharing the same planning philosophy and fiduciary commitment.

Whether a client is planning for retirement, managing equity compensation, growing a business, preparing for college expenses, coordinating estate planning, navigating cross-border financial issues, or aligning investments with personal values, our goal is to provide specialized expertise within a coordinated long-term financial plan.

Across every brand, our mission remains the same: simplify financial complexity, provide objective advice, and help clients build lasting financial confidence.

As fiduciaries, we never sell financial products or receive commissions. Every recommendation is made solely in our clients’ best interests.

Who We Serve

We work with professionals, entrepreneurs, families, and investors who want to make smarter financial decisions without the complexity. Whether you're building wealth, planning for retirement, managing stock compensation, saving for your children's education, or preparing your estate, we provide clear, personalized guidance tailored to your goals.


Our Services

Depending on your needs, our advisors provide guidance in areas including:

Comprehensive financial planning
Investment management
Retirement planning
Tax-efficient investing
Equity compensation planning (RSUs, stock options, and ESPPs)

Our Philosophy

Financial planning is about far more than investment performance.

Every important financial decision is connected. Investments affect taxes. Taxes influence retirement. Estate planning impacts future generations. Business decisions shape personal wealth.

Our role is to help clients see the bigger picture, understand their options, and make informed decisions with confidence.

By combining specialized expertise with a collaborative planning approach, we help clients build financial strategies that are coordinated, objective, and designed to evolve throughout every stage of life.

FAQs

Who does We Financial help?
We specialize in helping French and French-American families and individuals living in the United States navigate cross-border financial planning, including investments, taxes, and retirement decisions that span both the U.S. and France, whether you're newly arrived, settled long-term, or planning a move back to France.
Are you a fiduciary, and how does We Financial get paid?
As a registered investment adviser, we have a fiduciary responsibility to act in your best interest. We are fee-only, meaning we don't sell financial products or receive commissions. Depending on the services you choose, we're compensated through an hourly rate, a flat fee, and/or a percentage of the assets we manage for you.
Can you help me decide what to do with my stock options or RSUs?
Yes, we regularly help clients evaluate employee stock options and RSUs, weighing whether to sell or hold and how that decision fits into your broader cross-border financial plan, tax situation, and long-term goals in the U.S. and France.
