About our Firm

Tend Wealth offers wealth management services for tech employees, professionals and families.

Why Tech employees and families?

Tend Wealth founder and financial planner, David Nash, has carved a niche working with tech employees and their families.

David is a Salesforce spouse, so he knows tech benefits first-hand. Their Progyny benefits helped David grow his family, and the parental leave and maternity doula reimbursement supported them while his family transitioned from two to three.

When it comes to choosing an advisor, it's crucial to find someone who truly understands you, your unique values, and your specific situation. Don't settle for anything less than a partner who empowers you to make the best decisions for what you want to accomplish.
