About Me

Bonnie Maize, JD, AIF® is the Founder and Lead Planner of Maize Financial. She is a financial coach, planner, and investment advisor based in Topeka, Kansas. With a practice that embraces clients from all backgrounds and corners of the country, she welcomes and serves them with a unique blend of down-to-earth friendliness and financial expertise.

With an educational background in law and finance as well as experience advocating for social justice, Bonnie set out to democratize financial advice when she opened Maize Financial in 2021. She earned the Accredited Investment Fiduciary (AIF®) designation, showcasing her commitment to carry out a fiduciary standard of care and serve the best interests of her clients, and is a candidate for CFP® certification.

Bonnie lives with her husband and three children outside of Topeka, and enjoys reading, watching hockey, and trying to keep her houseplants alive. She is a committed volunteer at a local non-profit organization with a goal of financially empowering individuals traditionally left out of financial services.

Bonnie is particularly passionate about working with a diverse clientele. She is committed to serving those who have historically been marginalized in the financial sector, with special focus on women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and bridging the racial wealth gap. Her practice is a safe space for all, reflecting her deep-seated values of diversity and equity.

As a financial ally, Bonnie is dedicated to guiding her clients through their financial journeys, ensuring that each plan reflects their personal values and life goals.
