About Brett Tushingham, CFP®
Hi! My name is Brett Tushingham. I'm a Certified Financial Planner™ (CFP) and wealth advisor at Farther Finance Advisors. I've been providing retirement planning advice for over twenty years and specialize in helping families answer questions such as "Do I have enough assets to retire?" "How do I invest more wisely?" And "How do I minimize my taxes? My ultimate goal is to help you proactively plan and coordinate your finances, increase your wealth, and help you live your ideal retirement.We offer a free retirement review to help determine what value we can add and whether we’re a good long-term fit. Please contact us to experience the difference.
When I am not serving as a financial advisor for my clients, nothing is better than family time in Wilmington, NC, with my wife Kim and my two boys, Reece and Ryder. We support Make-A-Wish and the F3 Foundation—I can’t think of better causes —and try to get on our boat every chance we get.

What to expect in the first meeting
It all starts with a phone call or coffee to better understand your concerns and goals for financial planning, to tell you a little bit about how we work with clients, and to answer any questions you might have. If we can add value and we're a good fit we will send you a brief online questionnaire. This will help us develop your "free" one-page financial plan which we will discuss at your next meeting. We will explain how to lower your taxes, optimize your investments, and fine-tune your retirement plan. There's absolutely no pressure in making a decision. If you agree that we can provide value and want to work together then we will schedule a planning meeting for a more comprehensive review of your finances. If not, we can help you find another advisor who is a better fit.Offers Investment Management

About Farther
At Farther Finance, we offer proactive retirement planning that encompasses every aspect of your financial life. Think of us as your "Personal CFO."From minimizing your taxes to investing more wisely and optimizing your income, our mission is to provide financial advice that helps you obtain better outcomes, so you can live your ideal life.
We provide value in three ways.
We will first develop a financial plan based on your objective, establish the goals necessary to achieve it and coordinate the implementation of the plan with our team of attorneys, CPAs, bankers, mortgage brokers, property and casualty agents, and other professionals.
We then develop a portfolio tied to your financial objective and allocate it in such a manner that balances your long-term growth needs with a level of risk that you can live with.
We will employ tax minimization strategies such as asset location and tax-loss harvesting and help you coordinate account liquidation so you receive the income you need and pay as little tax as possible.
We also help you navigate the ongoing planning process by making informed decisions. Planning is a process, not an event. Changes will occur, and when they do, we will serve as a guide in helping you navigate those changes with greater clarity and confidence.
We offer a free retirement review to help determine what value we can add and if we’re a good long-term fit. Please contact us to experience the difference.

Wealthtender exists to help people discover trusted and authentic financial professionals and educators who may be a good fit based on their unique needs and circumstances.
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.
