About Me

Hi, I'm Brett Spencer, the founder and lead advisor at Impact Financial.

I founded Impact Financial after working as a Senior Financial Advisor at some of the largest Registered Investment Advisory firms in the country. I held various investment, tax, & planning leadership roles which contributes to the comprehensive approach that I maintain today.

During this time, I worked with many unique individuals & families and quickly saw the need for tailored services.

Templated plans, generic calculators and cookie cutter model portfolios don’t cut it and don’t address unique financial complexities & needs.

You are unique and your financial advice should be too.

It’s with this focus that I founded Impact Financial, offering comprehensive tailored advice to better help you meet your goals.
