About Me

Hi, I'm Brenna Baucum, founder of Collective Wealth Planning. My core values are growth and connection, and I can’t think of a better profession to foster those than financial planning.

I’ve been in Oregon most of my life, in Salem since 2007, and in this field since 2013. I am passionate about helping clients grow and connect with what is most meaningful to them. You can find the ‘why’ behind my decision to start the firm in the video on my profile page, which I shared when the practice first launched.

Money is both practical and emotional; therefore, I use a parallel planning approach. We'll talk about your numbers, and we'll talk about how you feel about those numbers. I view my role as a facilitator of the planning process, not a director. Together, we'll co-create a financial plan that will empower you to support what you care about.

I look forward to learning a bit about your story, what drives you, and how we can collaborate to make your world - our world - a little bit better.

To make Wealthtender free for readers, we earn a nominal monthly fee from financial advisors and firms in exchange for marketing services (including being featured on this profile page), subject to terms of use. This compensation creates a natural conflict of interest when we favor their promotion over others. Wealthtender is not a client of these advisors or firms. Testimonials may not be representative of other clients’ experiences and do not guarantee future performance or success.

We Want Your Voice to be Heard

Wealthtender exists to help people discover the most trusted and authentic financial advisors and educators in the finance community.

Your honest reviews help people decide which financial professionals and educators may be best suited to their individual needs.

The majority of people trust reviews as much as personal recommendations, so what you write in your review should reflect your own opinion and experience.

Tips for Writing a Helpful Review

Be descriptive. Instead of just saying what you like or dislike, share why. What have you enjoyed most or least about your experience with the provider? Have they helped you overcome a difficult financial challenge or strengthened your knowledge about particular money matters? The more details, the better!

Be honest. Your rating and review should reflect your actual experience.

Stay relevant. Ensure your review is helpful to others by avoiding off-topic discussions or personal opinions not relevant to your direct experience.

Make your review easy to read. Reviews should be readable to others. Use proper grammar, avoid excessive capitalization or punctuation, and be sure to check your spelling.

Be yourself. Don’t post as, or pretend to be, someone else, and do not say you’re associated with a person or organization with which you are not.

Be nice. Don’t write abusive, hateful, threatening, or harassing content. Avoid personal threats, hate speech, obscenities, or inflammatory language.

Respect the privacy of others. Don’t post information that can be used to identify another individual or compromise their privacy.

Report abuse. Thank you for helping us ensure reviews on Wealthtender are helpful to everyone. If you suspect possible violations of our guidelines or believe a review is inappropriate, please email support@wealthtender.com with a link to the provider’s profile, indicating the review in question and the reason you believe it violates our guidelines.

Disclaimers

Wealthtender reserves the right to remove reviews that violate its guidelines and/or regulations issued by the Federal Trade Commission, Securities and Exchange Commission, FINRA, and other regulatory agencies. Further, financial advisors are subject to individual firm policies and rules prescribed by federal and state regulators that may result in reviews being removed, not published, or potentially modified upon the documented request submitted by an advisor, compliance officer, or other firm professional to maintain compliance with federal and state regulations.

If you submit a review on Wealthtender, the Federal Trade Commission has issued guidance to ensure you always maintain the right and ability to request reviews be removed from any online review website, including Wealthtender. To request the removal of a review you submitted on Wealthtender, please send an email to support@wealthtender.com using the same email address you utilized when submitting the review. Please include in your email a link to the profile on Wealthtender where your review is published.

In addition to your review being published on Wealthtender, you acknowledge your review may also be published by your financial advisor on their website, and potentially their profile pages on other directory websites.

The reviews posted on Wealthtender are individual and subjective opinions. The opinions expressed in reviews are those of the reviewer and not of Wealthtender, Inc. Wealthtender does not endorse any of the opinions expressed by reviewers.
