About Me

Fahmin Fardous joined Zenith in 2022 as an Financial Planner. Prior to joining Zenith, Fahmin served as a Trust Advisor in the private client division of one of the nation’s largest banks, specializing in helping clients to implement financial plans, estate plans and charitable gifting strategies. Through that experience she recognized that the traditional wealth management model not only contributes to the wealth disparity, but further widens the wealth gap.

To best serve her clients, Fahmin first seeks to understand one’s relationship with money. That relationship, especially for first-generation immigrants and minorities like herself, plays a pivotal role in designing and implementing a client’s goals and achieving their desired lifestyle. She firmly believes having an intentional financial plan is the best way to build generational wealth and sustain a legacy.

Fahmin graduated from Montclair State University with a BA in Political Science and minors in Public Administration and Business. To explore her love of understanding human behavior, she obtained her Master’s in Psychological Studies from Seton Hall University.

Upon discovering financial planning as the perfect vehicle to understand people and make a positive impact in their lives, she was inspired to pursue and acquire her CFP.

Fahmin currently resides in New Jersey with her husband, Abdur and their two daughters, Inaaya and Eliana. When you meet Fahmin, make sure to ask about her most recent travel destination and the name of the newest book she’s reading!

About our Firm

Frustrated by the lack of accessible, high-quality financial education and advice, Zenith Wealth Partners was founded as an independent, fee-only, fiduciary investment management and financial planning firm. We create custom financial solutions for clients of all backgrounds. Zenith works with its clients to make smart financial decisions while fostering an optimal client experience.

Paired with our focus on clients is our desire to create an inclusive platform from which high-performing advisors can scale their own reach and impact. By strengthening the industry’s talent pipeline and creating a home for advisors who have been historically discriminated against, we believe we can have a positive ripple effect for decades to come.

We are a 100% minority-owned business on a mission to eliminate systemic wealth inequality by delivering accessible, objective advice that creates financial success for our clients.

Education

Fahmin graduated from Montclair State University with a BA in Political Science and minors in Public Administration and Business. She obtained her Master’s in Psychological Studies from Seton Hall University.

I cannot recommend Zeneith Wealth Partners highly enough! Working with them has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish. As someone who values professionalism, great communication and efficiency, I was thoroughly impressed with their services. They were incredibly available and there to address my concerns and answer my questions promptly. Their accessibility and style truly sets them apart. Furthermore, their expertise and patience were evident throughout our interactions. I appreciated how they took the time to explain concepts in a clear and understandable manner. Their patience made the entire process an excellent one. I have no doubt that I will be working with Zeneith Wealth Partners again in the future. Their dedication to their clients' success is unmatched, and I trust them wholeheartedly with my financial needs. They are simply the best.

A great team all around, though Partheev Shah really stands out with his attention to service, detail, and organizational needs. Jason Ray is a great leader and we're lucky to have Zenith based in Philadelphia.

I appreciated the opportunity to work with Zenith Wealth Partners to plan my financial roadmap. I first met with co-partner Chelsea who then introduced me to Fahmin with whom I primarily worked. Fahmin was very thorough, asking questions I hadn't even thought of. She was also patient with me when I needed to ask or offer clarification. I believe Zenith set me up with a blueprint for success. I highly recommend this firm, especially to those who feel they would benefit from working with a minority-owned business.

We had a great experience working with Fahmin and Chelsea at Zenith. They were intentional about getting to know us, our financial situation, and our goals. They're very knowledgeable, but also collaborative. It felt like we were building a financial plan together. Because of that, they helped us develop a sense of confidence and direction about our financial future. We're looking forward to continuing working with them. Highly recommend!

My finances have completely transformed through the help of Fahmin and Chelsea at Zenith Wealth Partners. They met me where I was at in my level of understanding - taking time to explain without judgement, helped me get organized and then take steps to improve my financial health. As a small business owner, this was critical work to help how I operate daily. I'm so grateful for their services. Thank you, Zenith!!

I have been working with my Finance Manager Fahmin at Zenith for almost a year now and it has been a great experience! I have never felt so supported when it comes to financial planning. For the first time in life I have a plan that is digestible, tangible but also fluid! Life happens and when it does I've never had an issue making adjustments to the plan. The software we use is great, easy to use, cool tech for sure! All in all, highly recommend Zenith Wealth Partners!

Best in class financial management. Never met a team that provided more comfort, trust and advising in many aspects from budgeting, investing, estate planning and more. Couldn't recommend more. Extremely pleased with Chelsea and her peers!

Top tier investment management and financial planning firm. In my search for a financial advisor, I specifically sought out a professional who not only provided the financial guidance I required, but also took pride in empowering the black community with the tools, knowledge, and capabilities to achieve wealth. Zenith stands out for its commitment to fostering financial empowerment within the black community, which adds a valuable dimension to their ALREADY impressive expertise in investment management and financial planning. I appreciate the comprehensive financial guidance I received, and can say for a fact that my financial goals are in capable hands (the numbers speak for itself). Highly recommended for anyone seeking not just a financial advisor, but a partner in building a prosperous, equitable future.

My family couldn't be happier about working with Zenith Wealth Partners. Everyone on the team has been knowledgeable, friendly, and extremely responsive, going above and beyond to make sure that all our questions are answered and we understand all our options. In addition, the Zenith team's advice on financial planning, investments, and retirement have helped us clarify our goals, align our strategies to those goals, and envision new possibilities for our future. Overall, it's been Zenith's commitment to really understanding our priorities and then responding with a personal touch that really stands out; never once have we felt like a nameless client getting canned advice or information that doesn't speak directly to our situation. We're big fans!
