About Dar Baruchim
Dar Baruchim is a Wealth Advisor at Kadima Wealth, bringing prior experience across business and financial services, including roles in brokerage, venture capital, and insurance, to his advisory practice. He works primarily with younger families and professionals, helping them bring structure, clarity, and intention to their financial lives.Dar’s mission is to help his clients take the small, thoughtful steps today that lead to long-term financial stability and independence for themselves and their loved ones. Growing up in Toronto, Canada, Dar saw firsthand how financial circumstances are more often shaped by everyday decisions than a single life-changing moment. That early exposure gave him a deep appreciation for the power of compounding, both positive and negative, and a strong focus on proactive planning
Dar went on to study accounting and finance, which helped connect lived experience with technical understanding. It reinforced the belief that while people cannot always control where they start, they can meaningfully influence where they end up through informed, intentional choices.
That perspective continues to shape how he advises clients today, blending strategy, education, and long‑term partnership. Dar believes financial planning works best when clients understand the why behind every recommendation and feel confident acting on it. Whether navigating early career milestones, growing a family, or planning for the retirement, his role is to focus on aligning recommendations with clients’ goals and best interests, helping them make informed decisions and avoid common financial pitfalls.
Dar holds the Series 65 license and continues to work towards other designations in the future, reflecting his commitment to client advocacy, technical excellence, and lifelong learning.
Outside of work, Dar enjoys literature, fitness, exploration, and learning anything that helps him see the world a little differently. He is happily married and the proud father of two wonderful boys, who have already taught him more about patience, priorities, and long‑term planning than any textbook ever could. Dar is deeply dedicated to his faith and actively involved in his community, values that anchor both his personal life and his professional practice.

A Message From the Founder:
My name is Elias Friedman, and I founded Kadima Wealth to put clients first. “Kadima” means “forward,” and I believe in moving toward your goals and your aspirations—partnering with you to look toward the future.
Today, I’m living the American dream, but it’s been a journey of relentless hard work and perseverance to overcome adversity. I became the first in my family to graduate from college. I believe in the value of grit and determination. My entire career has been dedicated to listening and partnering with my clients. I know how hard it is to save and invest, but that kind of commitment to your financial well-being will serve you and your family well.
With my firm, I seek to serve clients of all different backgrounds and financial circumstances. I gravitate toward people who also know the value of hard work and who are looking for someone to trust with their financial questions and goals.
If you're looking for an advisor committed to acting in your best interests and understanding your financial goals, let’s move forward together.

We Want Your Voice to be Heard
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.
