Hi, I'm David Edmisten. I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ with 17 years of experience advising clients to retire and enjoy the next phase of their life confidently.
I help people in or near retirement to handle their retirement finances with confidence. We specialize in helping clients Prescott AZ and Northern Arizona. I also work virtually with clients across the nation. I help my clients make informed decisions for their early retirement by educating and providing expert advice on retirement income, saving on taxes, investments and benefits planning.
I can help you answer the following questions:
• How to know for sure that you’ve saved enough to retire without running out of money
• How to create a retirement paycheck to cover all your expenses when you retire
• How to choose the best options for medical and healthcare expenses before Medicare
• Legal and effective ways to reduce taxes in retirement so you keep more of your hard-earned savings
• A proven way to structure your investments so that stock market downturns don’t derail your retirement lifestyle
• The steps you need to take now to protect your retirement from unexpected health and life challenges
We are based in beautiful Prescott, AZ and meet with local clients in person and out of area clients virtually. This allows us to meet with clients wherever they are and at a time that works best with your schedule.
I am a Christian, very happily married to my amazing wife Kristy and father of 8 wonderful children. We enjoy traveling, the beach, hiking, sports, games, and serving others. I also love music, playing guitar and sharing laughter with family and friends.
I look forward to speaking with you and learning about your ideal early retirement and how we can help you achieve it!

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.
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.
