About Bryan Foronjy, CFP®

We've created a practice for clients that truly appreciate a personal relationship with a seasoned practitioner who intends to stick with them for the long term.

As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, I help clients design a customized vision for retirement by listening, asking insightful questions, and offering sound advice drawing from over a decade of professional experience.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance with an emphasis in Personal Financial Planning from San Diego State University. Before founding Foronjy Financial in 2015, I worked for nearly a decade as the Senior Account Executive at Fidelity Investments in Santa Barbara, CA.

My interest in finances began at a young age. As young at 9 years old, I delivered newspapers to a senior citizens mobile home park community where many of the residents lived through the great depression. They would stress upon me the importance of saving a percentage of my meager paperboy earnings each month, which I took to heart.

As a college student, I was drawn to classes that emphasized the importance of applying financial skills to help mom and pop clients, rather than traditional banking. It was from that curriculum that I discovered my passion for investments, portfolio management, tax strategies, estate planning and insurance strategies for families and individuals.

While not in the office, I keep a healthy work-life balance by coaching my childrens sports teams, exercising regularly, enjoying a game of chess, or spending time outdoors with my wife and three children.

A boutique firm that makes the cut

Dec 18, 2025
I am thrilled to be getting advised by Foronjy Financial (after having been provided advice by a national firm for 25 plus years and having tried getting sound advice from an all-online company for just under one year). Yes, I pay fees. But this boutique and local firm is attentive to my needs, responsive, and genuine.

I had worked with Bryan before Foronjy Financial and most recently for the last 5 years. They provide a service that is very customized to your "style." They match their advice to your level of comfort for risk, lifestyle, responsiveness, reactivity, etc. They get my A+ recommendation.

I’ve been handling my own retirement investing for 10 years. I never was sure if I was handling things at the best. When I inherited additional money I needed a trustworthy, knowledgeable company to help me out. Both Emily and Casey were a great help in getting me organized and on a path. We e just started but I feel confident.

Bryan and Emily were so helpful during this process for us. We felt comfortable and at ease from our very first meeting. Their services were catered towards our individual needs, and we have a lifetime of support from them, even after our "scheduled services." Thank you both!

Bryan's firm has been managing our investments since 2021. He has a confident and warm demeanor, and is been very easy to talk to about investments and the ramifications of the choices. He has an office in both San Luis Obispo and in Santa Barbara with a competent staff in each. I highly recommend Foronjy Financial.

For the last few years, Bryan has helped my wife and I with our investment and retirement strategies. We have a combination of pension and private investments, and Bryan has provided excellent guidance. He is the perfect combination of advisors: intelligent, knowledgeable, and very easy to work with, personality-wise. We have worked with a couple of financial advisors over the years, but no one close to Bryan’s level of expertise! I give him my highest recommendation.

I have been a client of Bryan's for 4 years and could not be more pleased with my portfolio's performance. The personal care and understanding of Bryan and Casey allow me to not worry about my future. A very knowledgable and professional firm.
