About Dwayne Reinike, CFP®, ChFC®

Hi, I'm Dwayne Reinike, Founder and Financial Planner at Valiant Financial Planning.

I support tech workers and physicians in growing, protecting, and distributing their wealth while they focus on living their best lives. I understand the value my clients place on hiring a professional to develop a flexible, tailored financial plan that allows them to make the most out of their hard-earned money.

I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® Professional, U.S. Navy Veteran, Spouse, Father, Star Wars nerd, so-so soccer player, and an out-of-practice guitarist. I am passionate about guiding clients toward financial freedom while helping them overcome any challenges that life may throw at them.

I am a proud member of the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA), the Fee-Only Network, and the XY Planning Network.

Outside of work, I enjoy making memories with my beautiful wife, Scarlet, and my three teenage children: Ayden, Gaige and Lucielle. My family is the motivation behind my hard work, and I strive to help my clients achieve the same type of happy, fulfilling lifestyle I work hard to provide for my loved ones.

About Valiant Financial Planning

Valiant Financial Planning partners with tech professionals and physicians in the Greater Seattle Area, offering flat-fee-only financial planning with no commissions, no percentage-based fees, and no hidden costs.

Who We Serve

We work with tech professionals who receive equity compensation such as RSUs or stock options alongside company-sponsored retirement and insurance benefits, as well as physicians navigating the unique financial challenges of their careers. Our clients often ask questions like what to do after RSUs vest, and we help them build a plan around the answers.

Transparent Pricing

We are a flat-fee-only firm, meaning clients pay a flat, transparent annual fee agreed upon in advance rather than a percentage of assets under management. We offer both ongoing financial planning and advice-only relationships, as well as project-based, one-time financial plans with clear, actionable steps clients can implement on their own, with the option for follow-up sessions as needed.

Why Work With Us

We believe our clients are looking for a trusted financial planner and reliable advice, not a stockbroker with a sales pitch. Our superpower lies in our innovative & transparent approach, ensuring you can focus on saving lives or developing technology while we secure your financial future.

Together, we will navigate your financial landscape, grow your wealth, protect your assets, and create a legacy that stands the test of time. Together, we’ll tackle every financial obstacle and ensure you emerge victorious on your journey to financial freedom. Join us as we champion your success and help you thrive!

Dwayne has been our financial advisor for about a year and we highly recommend him. He has taken the time to understand our goals and has helped us get our finances organized. We were previously using a robo-advisor and our portfolio has been doing better compared to the S&P consistently since we switched. Also, he is very responsive. Whenever we have any questions about anything such as real estate questions, investment options, or considering different future paths, he comes back quickly with a thorough analysis comparing what each option means for us over time.

Dwayne is such a great guy in understanding the Financial Planning realm. Not only does he really know how financial realm works but can really break it down well for any person to understand. I known quite a few people in this field and Dwayne is one the most helpful regarding financial planning. I couldn't recommend him enough.

We’ve worked with Dwayne to manage our finances for quite a few years now, both at his previous employer and now we’ve followed him as he started his own business. Dwayne does a great job explaining his recommendations and various options to us as we work with him. Highly recommend Dwayne as a financial planner.

Dwayne offers an alternative to the traditional commission based pricing structure that many financial planners use. His flat fee offering means that he will be able to help you meet your financial goals without overcharging like some bigger, more corporate companies. Combine that with his vast financial knowledge, and you've got a recipe for a great financial planner. Thanks, Dwayne!

Nothing but HIGH praise for Dwayne. I had been with my previous financial advisor for more than 25+ years and had good results but always felt like I was missing something. Met with Dwayne and he filled that void with his financial planning and now I have a clear roadmap to retirement! Highly recommend

Dreams and goals. The things of life. In the present condition of this world, you have to have money to make that happen. Dwayne showed me a disciplined plan on how to make that happen. It's going to be work.I will reach those goals now, if I do my part.After sitting down with Dwayne and talking to him, I found that he is a disciplined family man. And I found trust in him. His plans were steeped in reality. He truly cares about my goals and I look forward to working with Dwayne to reach them.Have a chat with this guy.He saw things I didn't. Thank you Valiant Financial.

I would describe myself as a non-participant in finance as much as you can be, However, I know how important financial skills are for my overall future. I sat down with Dwayne and he was able to help me set more goals and really think more about my future than I ever have. He explained things clear and concise and made sure I understood everything. All of the tools he had made it really easy to see how different scenarios played out and gave me not just better perspective, but a roadmap to make sure that I have a better future. I can't recommend Dwayne enough.

Dwayne has been an incredible financial advisor. He was my advisor at Edward Jones for a couple of years, and when he decided to leave Edward Jones and start his own firm, I had no reservations on continuing to have him as my advisor. He is very meticulous with detail, is very patient with explaining how things work, and is willing to put in the time and effort to build the strongest portfolio to meet your financial goals. I love his honesty, determination, veteran knowledge and experience. Keep up the great work Dwayne!

There’s no one else I would want looking after my investments and helping me grow financially. Dwayne has been my financial guru for about 5 years now and not only do I feel secure about the decisions being made about my growing finances and investments-he also helps to educate me so that I understand each aspect of the financial planning and strategy for my money as it changes over time. Dwayne is kind, calm, and extremely knowledgeable-he truly has a passion for helping people AND for crunching the numbers and seeing where they impact his clients the most. I am very happy with the work he has done for me, and the work we continue to do together to help my family financially savvy and our future financially fresh. I feel very secure with the work he has done for us-and I promise you won’t regret giving him a call and seeing what he can do to help you grow and plan out your financial future.
